## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:24:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-13 07:49:31 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-17 06:04:18 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:33:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aastverifysms.com as a potentially credential phishing-related domain. Although the associated risk level is currently low, credential phishing remains a significant threat as it targets users’ sensitive login information to facilitate unauthorized access and possible identity theft. Users should be cautious about sharing personal or authentication data on sites linked to this domain.

aastverifysms.com was registered on February 21, 2026, through OwnRegistrar, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.222. It was flagged by one security vendor and appeared on one security blocklist, while VirusTotal scans show a low detection rate. The domain offered services related to virtual numbers, which can be exploited for fraudulent verification or bypassing two-factor authentication. The site is currently offline, reducing immediate risk but not eliminating potential future threats should it reappear.

Users are advised to avoid engaging with aastverifysms.com or similar sites promising virtual phone numbers for verification purposes. Avoid entering credentials or personal information on this domain. It is also recommended to maintain updated security software, use multi-factor authentication from trusted providers, and verify websites carefully before sharing sensitive data. Monitoring cybersecurity updates from reliable sources like PhishDestroy can help users stay informed of emerging threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       681e1c9c7919431a13defeeafd06b6fe
TLS cert SHA-256:      698483f93f5b8afa08612e63aca62e12b6733979425fb2cf22667769bd37628e

## 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.
