# PhishDestroy threat dossier — voteflarenetwork.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 10:36:49 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/voteflarenetwork.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: keaton.ns.cloudflare.com, oaklyn.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-16 Expires: 2027-06-16 Page title: Flare Governance: Vote on the FLR Rewards Date ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-06-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 06:18:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 21:05:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:27:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed3cb-d9c2-7020-80e4-cda676572bda/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/voteflarenetwork.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.voteflarenetwork.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=voteflarenetwork.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/voteflarenetwork.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/voteflarenetwork.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 16:30:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk crypto phishing site specifically designed to impersonate Flare Governance voting portals. The threat type involves brand impersonation with the intent to harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials or distribute malicious smart contracts under the guise of legitimate governance participation. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is actively targeting users of the Flare Network (FLR) by presenting a fraudulent voting interface for reward distribution dates. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple critical indicators: the domain was registered on June 16, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, an entity frequently associated with high-risk registrations. It currently resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335), which provides anonymization services. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by wallet protection systems and domain reputation services. VirusTotal detection shows 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while the absence of an SSL certificate further reduces its legitimacy. The page title, 'Flare Governance: Vote on the FLR Rewards Date,' precisely mimics official Flare Network communications, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering. Mitigation requires immediate action from both end users and network administrators. Users should verify governance portals exclusively through official Flare Network channels and never connect wallets to unverified voting interfaces. Wallet protection systems should enforce blocklist integration to prevent connections to this domain. Network administrators should implement DNS filtering to block resolution of voteflarenetwork.xyz and monitor for related infrastructure patterns, including domains registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP with similar naming conventions. Given the high-risk nature of crypto phishing, any interaction with this domain should be treated as a potential credential compromise, necessitating immediate wallet security reviews and transaction monitoring. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-9A8692 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 ## 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/voteflarenetwork.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=voteflarenetwork.xyz 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.
