## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Scam

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai

## INFRASTRUCTURE

IP address:      188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto)
ASN:             AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Hosting org:     CloudFlare, Inc.
Registrar:       Key-Systems GmbH
Nameservers:     abdullah.ns.cloudflare.com, harlee.ns.cloudflare.com

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Google Trust Services / WE1
Expires:    2026-06-01
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 113dcca5e6eb190309af8683908778a0f4ebbf188d9dc0a037a4b09e2d40e7bb
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - ai-cryptolist.org

## 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: 2025-11-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-11 03:26:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-22 14:53:27 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 00:25:39 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-11 03:28:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Astronexus.ai-cryptolist.org is an active crypto-drainer designed to steal digital assets from unsuspecting visitors. This fraudulent site mimics legitimate cryptocurrency platforms, tricking users into connecting their wallets or entering seed phrases under false pretenses. Once connected, the drainer silently transfers funds to attacker-controlled wallets, often evading early detection through minimal security vendor alerts and newly registered domains. Users risk losing entire portfolios if they interact with this site, making it a high-stakes threat for crypto investors.  PhishDestroy’s analysis confirms this domain was flagged by only one out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating how difficult it is to detect at scale. The site was registered on November 05, 2025, through Key-Systems GmbH, a domain registrar that does not inherently confirm legitimacy. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and operates under an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which can falsely reassure visitors that the site is trustworthy. This combination of evasion techniques demonstrates the sophistication of modern crypto-drainers, which exploit both technical and psychological vulnerabilities.  If you visited this domain, disconnect your crypto wallet immediately and revoke any unauthorized connections using tools like WalletConnect or Revoke.cash. Never enter your seed phrase, private keys, or wallet passwords on any site labeled with suspicious extensions like “.ai” or “.cryptolist.” For further protection, enable multi-factor authentication on your exchanges and wallets, and use hardware wallets for storage. Report this domain to your local cybercrime unit or platforms like PhishDestroy to help block future attacks. Staying vigilant against impersonation is critical—especially in the fast-evolving crypto space where new domains emerge daily with malicious intent.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       df514a3d619cf73e361b6a3194d9c80b
TLS cert SHA-256:      113dcca5e6eb190309af8683908778a0f4ebbf188d9dc0a037a4b09e2d40e7bb

## 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.
