# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aero-info.to ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 11:53:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aero-info.to/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Base ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.77.233 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Government of Kingdom of Tonga Nameservers: aldo.ns.cloudflare.com, jewel.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-24 Expires: 2028-06-24 Page title: Aerodrome Finance Review 2026 — Leading DEX on Base ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1ff90ba4e2edb566b4ac537fe199df3f9e9dacf757bb77dcefd0377e10cd682e ## 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: 2026-06-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 10:39:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 08:46:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 13:45:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 12:16:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1287-c9fa-72ca-9359-bbf5e0c7d6ba/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f119b342-6a12-4c27-b8ab-b1dbfce2c941 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aero-info.to crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aero-info.to Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aero-info.to AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aero-info.to URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aero-info.to/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 10:45:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, aero-info.to, is currently under investigation for impersonating Aerodrome Finance, a decentralized exchange operating on the Base blockchain. The site presents itself as an official review or platform update for Aerodrome Finance, with the page title "Aerodrome Finance Review 2026 — Leading DEX on Base." Such impersonation is commonly used to deceive users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets to malicious smart contracts, which can result in unauthorized transactions, fund drainage, or complete loss of digital assets. The threat is particularly dangerous for users familiar with Aerodrome Finance or those seeking information about Base blockchain projects, as the site appears legitimate at first glance. Analysis of the domain infrastructure reveals several indicators supporting the suspicion of malicious activity. The domain was registered on June 24, 2026, through the Government of the Kingdom of Tonga, a registrar that has been frequently associated with domains used in phishing and brand impersonation campaigns. As of the latest scan, the domain has 0 detections out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged or may be employing techniques to evade detection. The site resolves to the IP address 104.21.77.233 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which provides an appearance of security but does not guarantee the legitimacy of the site’s content or intent. Users who have visited aero-info.to or interacted with the site should take immediate action to secure their assets and information. If a wallet was connected to the site, it is critical to revoke any smart contract approvals granted to the domain using a blockchain explorer or a wallet management tool. Monitor all connected wallets for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring assets to a new wallet if suspicious activity is detected. Additionally, report the domain to relevant security platforms, such as VirusTotal or blockchain-specific threat intelligence feeds, to assist in broader detection efforts. Exercise caution with any communications or links related to Aerodrome Finance or Base blockchain projects, and verify the authenticity of sites through official channels before interacting with them. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-652C17 Favicon MD5: 3dc3e5ae0052a106659c160e0a9ba3c7 TLS cert SHA-256: 1ff90ba4e2edb566b4ac537fe199df3f9e9dacf757bb77dcefd0377e10cd682e ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aero-info.to/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aero-info.to Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
