# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aurorasmarttrades.org ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 16:47:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aurorasmarttrades.org/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Netcraft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.81.81 (US, Staten Island) ASN: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: FranTech Solutions Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ["ns25.asurahosting.com", "ns26.asurahosting.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: Aurora Smart Trades HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-05-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 73756ace4e99302a55eea49a5b206e08792cd56548e063b5c0d664bf0b56d5ff ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 21:10:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-21 18:10:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 19:40:19 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:06:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019db13a-62e4-7124-a699-4a63a15bc08e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c95366d6-0f28-4bf6-979d-5a10a7907ef3 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aurorasmarttrades.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aurorasmarttrades.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aurorasmarttrades.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aurorasmarttrades.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aurorasmarttrades.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 21:12:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aurorasmarttrades.org as an elevated-risk crypto drainer domain designed to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets under the guise of an investment trading platform. This threat involves malicious JavaScript payloads injected into fake portfolio dashboards that silently drain approved tokens when users interact with fraudulent ‘withdraw’ or ‘claim reward’ buttons. The domain leverages social engineering tactics, including promises of high-yield returns and urgency messaging, to trick victims into authorizing malicious wallet transactions. Given the active status and confirmed malicious payload delivery mechanism, immediate action is required to prevent financial loss. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with an elevated risk rating and is actively resolving to IP 198.251.81.81. Security analysis shows only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors currently detecting the threat, indicating low signature coverage despite clear malicious intent. The domain was registered on October 27, 2025, through Dynadot Inc and secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The recent registration date and low detection rate suggest this is a newly deployed threat designed to evade early-stage detection systems. While no public blocklists currently include this domain, the combination of fresh registration, low vendor detection, and active infrastructure signals a high likelihood of future abuse. To mitigate risk, users must avoid interacting with aurorasmarttrades.org entirely and should never connect cryptocurrency wallets or enter financial details. If you’ve already visited the site, revoke any wallet approvals immediately using tools like Revoke.cash or WalletConnect’s session management. Treat this domain as inherently untrustworthy—do not rely on SSL certificates as an indicator of safety. Always verify unknown investment platforms through independent reviews and official brand channels before engaging. Report the domain to PhishDestroy for inclusion in global threat databases to protect the broader community. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-999B07 Favicon MD5: 24e166d9f1d3452bfda39b0a65d46a91 TLS cert SHA-256: 73756ace4e99302a55eea49a5b206e08792cd56548e063b5c0d664bf0b56d5ff ## 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/aurorasmarttrades.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aurorasmarttrades.org 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.
