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: 2026-04-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 17:41:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 16:06:05 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-23 16:20:36 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/019edb63-1fac-72c2-8e81-9d2f87a2ccef/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/92aed649-08a2-4439-95ce-97d237e7e5e3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/proposals-flare.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.proposals-flare.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=proposals-flare.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/proposals-flare.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/proposals-flare.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:06:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] proposals-flare.com is a cryptocurrency phishing scam that has been flagged by 6 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is also listed on public blocklists maintained by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Hosted on IP address 188.114.97.3 in the United States, the domain was registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and issued an SSL certificate by Let's Encrypt. The domain was first detected by PhishDestroy on June 18, 2026, and has since been taken down. Despite its offline status, the domain's initial activity posed a significant threat to cryptocurrency users, as indicated by a platform risk score of 70 out of 100. The domain's malicious nature is underscored by its presence on multiple blocklists and its detection by several security vendors. Phishing domains like proposals-flare.com exploit the initial period between domain registration and widespread detection to target unsuspecting users. By the time many antivirus databases flag such domains, they may have already caused damage. PhishDestroy's proactive detection pipeline aims to identify these threats early in their lifecycle, providing crucial protection during this vulnerable window. The swift takedown of proposals-flare.com illustrates the importance of rapid response in mitigating phishing threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-E2D2A7 Favicon MD5: dc270172d1648eb90a7ac9e496aaa7ec TLS cert SHA-256: 26269f2151cbed5b238d08aa8943159c7167ab1bc0ecc791cd654d69444dba67 ## 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/proposals-flare.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=proposals-flare.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
