App.flare9.icu was observed hosting an Airdrop Scam phishing kit. The domain was registered on 15 November 2024 through Porkbun LLC and uses the default Porkbun nameservers curitiba.ns.porkbun.com, fortaleza.ns.porkbun.com, maceio.ns.porkbun.com, and salvador.ns.porkbun.com. DNS resolution points to 199.59.243.228, an address owned by Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) located in the United States. No TLS certificate is presented, indicating the site was served over plain HTTP.

VirusTotal analysis recorded four positive detections out of ninety‑five scanners, and the domain is listed on a single public blocklist. PhishDestroy has taken the site offline, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100. The page title returned is "flare9.icu", matching the registered second‑level domain.

While the infrastructure details are concrete, the current offline status prevents direct inspection of the phishing content, so the exact lure and data‑capture mechanisms remain unverified. Defenders should block the host IP 199.59.243.228 and any future resolution of app.flare9.icu, add the domain to internal URL filtering policies, and monitor for new subdomains under the same registrar or similar name patterns. Continuous scanning of the associated ASN and periodic re‑evaluation of the domain’s status are recommended to capture any re‑appearance.
