flarenetportal[.]online

Analysis of the domain flarenetportal.online indicates it was registered on August 4, 2025, through NameCheap, Inc., and was operational until recently taken offline. The domain resolved to IP 162.213.255.31, hosted on AS22612 (Namecheap, Inc.) in the US. No SSL certificate was detected, increasing the risk of unencrypted credential interception. The page title, 'Flare Network - EVM Hub for Web3.0,' does not directly reference Coinbase, but the domain is explicitly flagged for brand impersonation targeting Coinbase, classified as a crypto scam.

Detection data shows 9 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, and it appears on at least one blocklist (PhishDestroy). Trust scores from Gridinsoft (0/100) and Scamadviser (49/100) further suggest malicious intent, though the latter indicates some ambiguity in automated assessments. The domain's nameservers (dns1.namecheaphosting.com, dns2.namecheaphosting.com) align with common registrar-hosted infrastructure, which may facilitate rapid takedowns or re-deployments. Defenders should treat this domain as part of a broader crypto-focused phishing campaign, particularly given its explicit targeting of Coinbase users.

While the site is currently offline, historical DNS and WHOIS records should be preserved for further investigation. Monitoring for re-registration or shifts to new IPs under the same registrar is recommended, as NameCheap-hosted phishing domains frequently reappear with minor modifications. No evidence of a phishing kit or specific payload delivery was provided, so the exact attack vector remains unconfirmed. Blocklisting the domain and associated IP at the perimeter is advised until further analysis confirms its permanent removal.
