illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

Fingerprint: 18c18d71eba2928cd4b4a262a300adc0579397cf24ef3b6e1b7932f810dfce66

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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: 2026-06-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:23:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 06:34:02 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-25 16:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:07:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain proposal-firelightfoundation.com is flagged by 6 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. It is also listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The site, now offline, posed as a protection layer for digital assets, potentially targeting cryptocurrency users.

Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain's SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate. The hosting IP, 188.114.96.3, does not have any specific malicious history but was used to support this fraudulent operation. The site's page title, "Firelight - The Protection Layer for Digital Assets," was likely designed to lure users into a false sense of security.

The takedown of proposal-firelightfoundation.com reduces its immediate threat, but its existence highlights ongoing risks in the cryptocurrency space. Scammers often exploit the allure of digital asset protection to deceive users. The domain's presence on multiple blocklists suggests it was part of a broader effort to protect potential victims. PhishDestroy's inclusion of the domain in its blocklist underscores the importance of proactive threat detection and mitigation in the cybersecurity landscape.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       774908dd96042307639e40a6950e03a0
TLS cert SHA-256:      18c18d71eba2928cd4b4a262a300adc0579397cf24ef3b6e1b7932f810dfce66

## 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.
