flarenexus[.]quest

Analysis of the domain flarenexus.quest indicates it was actively used for social media phishing targeting Discord users. The domain was registered on October 15, 2025, through Namecheap and resolved to the IP address 104.21.50.151, hosted on Cloudflare’s network (AS13335) in the United States. The page title, 'Shade Network — The Private Execution Layer,' does not directly reference Discord, but the known intelligence confirms the domain was impersonating Discord as part of its phishing operation. At the time of reporting, the domain has been taken offline, though its infrastructure remains documented for defensive review.

The domain appeared on one security blocklist and was flagged by PhishDestroy. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting high-risk classification. A VirusTotal scan recorded one detection out of 93 security vendors, though the specific nature of the detection is not detailed in available data. The SSL certificate was issued by WE1, a provider commonly used for both legitimate and malicious domains, offering no definitive signal on its own.

Defenders should note that while the domain is currently offline, the registration and hosting details remain relevant for retrospective threat hunting. The use of Cloudflare infrastructure is consistent with phishing campaigns seeking to obscure origin and evade takedowns. No evidence links this domain to a known phishing kit or additional malicious infrastructure beyond the single IP association. Further analysis of related domains or certificates may reveal broader campaign patterns, but as of July 25, 2026, no such connections have been confirmed in available intelligence.
