  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      142.251.42.132 (IN, Mumbai)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WR2
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-05-15 05:11:21 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:29:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies astr.stakingrewards.biz as an active high-risk phishing domain impersonating Google to deceive users and steal sensitive data. This threat is significant due to its malicious intent and active status.

The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP 142.251.42.132. It appears on 2 security blocklists, and 13 out of 95 VirusTotal scanners flagged it, confirming its suspicious nature.

Users should avoid visiting astr.stakingrewards.biz and never enter credentials or personal information. Always verify URLs carefully and rely on trusted sources to prevent falling victim to such phishing schemes.

## 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.
