## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:04:48 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-flarefoundations.xyz is involved in a phishing scam targeting Flare users. It mimics legitimate Flare Rewards voting pages to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. Despite being taken down, it has already been flagged by 1 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal and is listed on three public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL.

Registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, the domain was created on June 17, 2026, and detected by PhishDestroy just two days later. Hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure in the United States, the site used an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, adding a veneer of legitimacy to its operations. The platform risk score of 73 out of 100 indicates a significant threat level.

The swift detection and subsequent takedown of proposal-flarefoundations.xyz highlight the effectiveness of early threat identification. By capturing this domain during its nascent stage, PhishDestroy and other security entities have mitigated potential harm to users. The presence of this domain on multiple blocklists underscores its malicious intent and the importance of proactive security measures in the digital landscape.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260619-385761
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      d416aea79c23eb1102744a8f47fbde7a87bc14a66ee73ff30d175d607b27fd21

## 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.
