flarefnd[.]net

This domain, flarefnd.net, is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing threat. Analysis indicates it is actively used to deceive users into submitting sensitive authentication details, including usernames, passwords, and potentially multi-factor authentication codes. The domain exhibits characteristics consistent with targeted phishing campaigns, likely impersonating legitimate services to exploit user trust. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.28.104, hosted on AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) in the United States. It is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, with a creation date of May 27, 2026—an anomalous future timestamp suggesting potential domain spoofing or registry manipulation. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (serial number E8), which, while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. Additional blocking is enforced by at least three independent threat intelligence feeds. Mitigation requires immediate action to disrupt the phishing operation. Network-level blocking of 104.21.28.104 and domain-level filtering of flarefnd.net should be implemented across firewalls, DNS resolvers, and email gateways. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to detect and prevent access to the domain. Security teams are advised to monitor for connections to the IP and domain, particularly from systems exhibiting unusual authentication attempts. User awareness training should emphasize verification of domain authenticity before entering credentials, especially when prompted by unexpected login requests. Given the active status and high-risk classification, containment and eradication procedures should be prioritized.
