# PhishDestroy threat dossier — asterdesk.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 20:58:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/asterdesk.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 69.46.46.20 (US, Seattle) ASN: AS400940 Railway Hosting org: Railway Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: ["ada.ns.cloudflare.com", "vern.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-08 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 94b8c84c06b9b8676acf1fb8cfb6538aa15774cac8077d390f42958de5a3d045 ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:31:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 16:03:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 12:44:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ea7f5-fffb-7730-98de-12a16637041a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7576b158-b3df-4ddc-94cf-4f33627cbbbc Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/asterdesk.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.asterdesk.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=asterdesk.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/asterdesk.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/asterdesk.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:43:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, asterdesk.com, is identified as a high-risk site for credential theft. Users who visit this domain may be prompted to enter sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and other personal details, which can be stolen and used for malicious purposes. The threat level is marked as elevated, indicating a significant risk to user security. Infrastructure analysis reveals that asterdesk.com was registered on June 08, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc. The domain currently resolves to the IP address 69.46.46.20. Notably, the site has appeared on 3 security blocklists and is referenced in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. On VirusTotal, 5 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, providing additional evidence of its phishing nature. If a user has visited asterdesk.com, it is recommended to immediately change passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised. Users should also enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all critical accounts to add an extra layer of security. Monitoring credit reports and account activity for any unauthorized transactions is advised. Reporting the incident to the relevant security authorities and informing affected service providers can help mitigate potential damage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260608-3D83EC Favicon MD5: 3f605e72522e6c5db0840e0bebd5a698 TLS cert SHA-256: 94b8c84c06b9b8676acf1fb8cfb6538aa15774cac8077d390f42958de5a3d045 ## 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/asterdesk.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=asterdesk.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.
