  - web-hosting.com

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-05 04:10:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aster.de.com as an active phishing domain categorized under generic phishing threats. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and is associated with deceptive practices aimed at misleading users into divulging sensitive information. The classification reflects potential attempts to impersonate legitimate services or brands to exploit victims.

Technical analysis reveals that aster.de.com has been flagged on a recognized security blocklist, indicating prior detection by cybersecurity monitoring tools. While detailed hosting and IP information remain limited, its inclusion in blacklists suggests the domain is part of a broader phishing infrastructure that may utilize common evasion tactics and social engineering strategies. The domain's creation date and current active status imply it is relatively new but operational.

Despite being listed on only one security blocklist, the domain remains active, which poses an ongoing risk to users. PhishDestroy urges caution when encountering this domain and recommends that users avoid interacting with it. Security teams should monitor for related activity and update defensive measures accordingly. Continuous surveillance and timely blacklisting are critical to mitigating the threat posed by aster.de.com.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b2e87d90d3962b349e4806f599ff81b072f3e0141603ae866b417d347363b58f

## 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.
