Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aster-join.com as a high-risk phishing domain involved in a crypto wallet draining campaign targeting traders. Branded as "Aster - The next-gen perp DEX for all traders," the site lured users into Wallet Connect abuse to steal cryptocurrency assets, representing a significant financial threat to crypto holders. The domain was registered on November 10, 2025, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolved to IP 91.92.242.155. It had a low Scamadviser trust score of 46/100 and appeared on three established security blocklists. VirusTotal scans detected flags from 17 security vendors, reinforcing its malicious nature. PhishDestroy notes the campaign infrastructure is now offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should remain vigilant against similar phishing sites impersonating crypto exchanges or decentralized finance platforms. Avoid connecting wallets via suspicious links, especially those prompting Wallet Connect permissions outside trusted platforms. Regularly verify domain legitimacy and update wallet security measures. PhishDestroy continues monitoring for related threats using the unique seed 95e0a2. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: edb4014b073d69c293e4f5e2f54c8b5eb3c2f3642b2298e56ef2487292f07577 TLS cert SHA-256: 5b77254cfcfe2e30d46322d1ed3c8faadffccc309ea8ad3736b2d8a855f5c22d ## 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/aster-join.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aster-join.com 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.
