Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified portal-flare.online as a high-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Flare, a blockchain platform for data. This type of threat is critical as it aims to deceive users into trusting a fraudulent site, potentially leading to credential theft or other cybercrimes. Users should be cautious of any communications or links referencing this domain. The domain portal-flare.online was registered recently on January 3, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB. It resolved to the IP address 72.60.95.118 before being taken offline. The domain appeared on two security blocklists and was flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a strong consensus on its malicious nature. The page title found was “Flare: The blockchain for data,” clearly designed to impersonate the legitimate Flare brand. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting portal-flare.online or providing any personal information if encountered. Organizations should update their blocklists and educate employees about this phishing attempt. Although the domain is currently offline, vigilance is necessary as similar impersonation campaigns may resurface. Report any suspicious activity related to Flare impersonation to your security team immediately. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260104-8FB5E8 Favicon SHA-256: 65715321bfc6b7ec3243e6d0ff01a70dbe9947d0f2d2391f063356b82a796198 ## 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 (volunteer 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/portal-flare.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=portal-flare.online 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
