TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/91 security vendors flagged this domain
URLQuery:        -1 detections
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## 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: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-04 21:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 16:38:21 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-14 06:09:18 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:29:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Aeradrome.co, masquerading as 'Aerodrome Finance', is a recently detected phishing domain. It was taken offline quickly, but not before being flagged by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. With 0 detections on VirusTotal, this domain exemplifies the challenge of early-stage phishing threats that exploit the gap before antivirus databases update.

The domain was hosted on an IP in Canada under Cloudflare's infrastructure, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. This setup is typical for phishing sites, as it can lend a veneer of legitimacy. The rapid takedown of aeradrome.co suggests effective intervention by security teams, but the initial lack of VirusTotal detections highlights the importance of early threat intelligence.

PhishDestroy's upstream detection capabilities allow for the identification of threats like aeradrome.co before they propagate to wider security feeds. This proactive approach is crucial in mitigating risks posed by such domains, which can appear legitimate to unsuspecting users. The inclusion of aeradrome.co in multiple blocklists underscores the collaborative effort required to combat phishing operations effectively.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       a8c3bca75c8ab79cccabac52a89bf5ad
TLS cert SHA-256:      42379f8024a20daba028dd90eb753707886af5f24436f440ec651d3ea8ae2c8b

## 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 (operator 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.
