This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 17:43:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 16:06:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-26 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 00:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edb66-0749-740e-a2c8-763837918b42/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/8346c983-5374-4a26-b84a-58249396234f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/phase2flare.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.phase2flare.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=phase2flare.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/phase2flare.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/phase2flare.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:58:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] phase2flare.com: High-Risk Phishing Threat This domain, phase2flare.com, presents a high-risk phishing threat primarily focused on extracting sensitive information through phishing techniques. It has been identified as posing a significant risk, particularly in the realm of crypto-related scams, compromising the security of unsuspecting users who may be enticed to provide personal and financial data. The domain was created on June 07, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, associated with Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335). It is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Importantly, phase2flare.com has been flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, underscoring its risk profile. Additionally, it appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, all of which have taken steps to mitigate its malicious activity. Despite these measures, the domain remains active, continuing to pose a threat to potential victims. To mitigate the risks associated with this phishing domain, users are advised to exercise extreme caution when encountering emails or messages purporting to be from legitimate services but redirecting to phase2flare.com. Employ security solutions that include phishing protection and ensure they are up-to-date. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain and educate employees about recognizing phishing attempts, especially those related to cryptocurrency. Monitoring network traffic for connections to the specified IP address can also aid in early detection of potential breaches. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-08449F TLS cert SHA-256: 4c1403bef1bb0f149b6c37bb34ad4422ed2209d38c1446550abb933f6fc18b36 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/phase2flare.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=phase2flare.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
