No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-05 20:30:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-06 01:40:01 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019df92f-2759-772c-af17-da5b4fbcf26a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aerodrome.study crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aerodrome.study Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aerodrome.study AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aerodrome.study URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aerodrome.study/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-05 20:31:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aerodrome.study as an active brand impersonation domain currently used to mimic legitimate crypto-projects and harvest user credentials. The site masquerades as a study or educational portal tied to Aerodrome Finance, tricking visitors into connecting wallets or signing malicious transactions that drain crypto holdings. Even cursory inspection shows the domain is not affiliated with any official Aerodrome or DeFi project, yet threat actors continue to repurpose the name to exploit user trust in established brands. This domain was flagged on 2 of 95 VirusTotal security engines, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on May 04, 2026, and already blocked by InversionDNS and Google Safe Browsing for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. It resolves to 172.67.195.1 and holds a legitimate Let’s Encrypt certificate, adding a veneer of legitimacy that masks its true intent. The combination of recent registration date, low detection ratio, and brazen brand misuse indicates opportunistic, short-lived campaigns aimed at rapid financial gain before takedown. If you visited aerodrome.study, immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions using tools like revoke.cash or the project’s official front-end. Clear browser cache and cookies linked to the domain, and run a full malware scan. Report the domain to your antivirus vendor and security platforms to accelerate blocklisting. Disable MetaMask or wallet extensions until you confirm no unauthorized transactions occurred; transactions within the first few minutes are often reversible via the blockchain’s mempool. Always verify URLs through official sources before clicking or signing anything. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a8c3bca75c8ab79cccabac52a89bf5ad TLS cert SHA-256: dd59ead1b6ca79d2ea3ae701e8edb60020bab6217a470e6a1c4ab86fc7cbd522 ## 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/aerodrome.study/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aerodrome.study 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.
