# PhishDestroy threat dossier — asterdax.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 09:11:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/asterdax.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.47.214 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: newt.ns.cloudflare.com, sandra.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-17 Expires: 2027-06-17 Page title: Aster - The next-gen perp DEX for all traders ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ae4d5750498a7c185675cd1e8a2de2eebb4337e9b468c3e8b03206718ad5dae2 ## 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: 2026-06-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 11:56:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-20 09:59:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 10:45:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 18:18:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee474-88b6-734b-aac4-99fde031a331/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c79adc08-ae57-4929-85a4-78e87c9ddf8f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/asterdax.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.asterdax.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=asterdax.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/asterdax.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/asterdax.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:35:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Asterdax.app is classified as a generic phishing infrastructure targeting users seeking access to a decentralized trading interface. The domain presents a cloned landing page labeled as a next-generation perpetual trading platform, designed to solicit authentication data or wallet interactions through deceptive UI patterns. No legitimate backend association is confirmed, and the infrastructure is consistent with credential-harvesting and potential wallet-draining workflows. A technical assessment shows the domain resolves to 104.21.47.214 and uses TLS issued by Google Trust Services. It was registered on June 17, 2026 via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. VirusTotal reports 3/95 security vendors flagging the domain. Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100. The domain appears on 3 security blocklists. Although currently taken offline, historical telemetry indicates active phishing deployment prior to takedown. At present, the domain status is offline, indicating successful disruption or voluntary removal. However, residual risk persists due to potential mirror deployments or re-registration under similar naming patterns. Users who previously interacted should assume credential compromise risk, revoke sessions, rotate credentials, and inspect any connected wallet activity. Security teams should maintain blocking of the IP 104.21.47.214, monitor related certificate patterns, and deploy heuristic detection for similar impersonation templates mimicking decentralized trading interfaces. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260620-B8F0FE TLS cert SHA-256: ae4d5750498a7c185675cd1e8a2de2eebb4337e9b468c3e8b03206718ad5dae2 ## 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/asterdax.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=asterdax.app 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.
