# PhishDestroy threat dossier — claimwindows-asterdex.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-26 01:12:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/claimwindows-asterdex.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: across (and: discord, telegram) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 16/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.134.61 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: aron.ns.cloudflare.com, sri.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-28 Page title: Aster - The next-gen perp DEX for all traders HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-30 06:37:01 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-26 01:29:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 17:30:36 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/019c0d77-60bc-74dc-8484-a4f7c00fed9f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bb9eb8ec-c787-45a0-a28a-7876ff874789 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/claimwindows-asterdex.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.claimwindows-asterdex.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=claimwindows-asterdex.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/claimwindows-asterdex.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/claimwindows-asterdex.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:03:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies claimwindows-asterdex.com as a high-risk crypto drainer domain that targets users under the guise of a next-generation decentralized exchange. The domain's primary threat involves draining cryptocurrency wallets by tricking users into exposing private keys or signing malicious transactions, posing significant financial danger to unsuspecting victims. Supporting evidence for this classification includes its recent creation date on February 21, 2026, and registration through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, which is commonly noted for suspicious registrations. The domain was flagged by 16 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and appears on two separate security blocklists, confirming widespread recognition of its malicious intent. It resolves to an IP address associated with previously flagged fraudulent activity. The page title, referencing a “next-gen perp DEX,” is used to lure crypto traders into engaging with the platform. Currently, claimwindows-asterdex.com is taken offline, limiting its immediate threat. Users should still remain vigilant and avoid interacting with any related URLs or communications that attempt to redirect to this domain. To mitigate risk, ensure wallets are secured with strong passwords and never share seed phrases or private keys. Use trusted sources and verified exchanges only, and maintain updated security solutions to detect and block similar crypto drainer threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260130-51B1C8 Favicon SHA-256: edb4014b073d69c293e4f5e2f54c8b5eb3c2f3642b2298e56ef2487292f07577 ## 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/claimwindows-asterdex.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=claimwindows-asterdex.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.
