# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dexaster.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-21 20:02:28 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dexaster.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.96.187.51 Registrar: Namecheap Inc Nameservers: ["ns1.hawkhost.com", "ns2.hawkhost.com"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: DexAster - AsterDex ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8e123dac165e140ec6cc9e16fbabb98d767d28c356c1ceb9ec35e1f9f2731f8a ## 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 05:31:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 16:12:03 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-21 21:46:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 18:21:04 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/019ea7fd-5e9e-76fd-8039-24c603113bf1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2f86af95-76f9-42b3-90ee-a09455ce4ca9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dexaster.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dexaster.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dexaster.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dexaster.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dexaster.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 12:58:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dexaster.app as a generic phishing domain, impersonating no specific brand, with no known drainer kit involvement. The domain dexaster.app has a VirusTotal score of 1/95, is registered through Namecheap Inc, resolves to IP 172.96.187.51, and has a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, with a current status of active and a blocklist count of 1. The current status of dexaster.app is active, and in response, users should block all traffic to this domain, with the remaining risk being high due to its active status and ability to resolve to a valid IP, thus PhishDestroy recommends immediate action to mitigate potential threats ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260608-BC5B62 Favicon MD5: 7dd0b62445d5ded4ccdf9c31f14451cb TLS cert SHA-256: 8e123dac165e140ec6cc9e16fbabb98d767d28c356c1ceb9ec35e1f9f2731f8a ## 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/dexaster.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dexaster.app 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.
