Analysis of www.aster-dex.io shows a short‑lived crypto‑drainer infrastructure that was taken offline prior to this report (July 24 2026). The domain was registered on 27 September 2025 through NameCheap, Inc. and uses the registrar‑provided nameservers dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. DNS resolution points to the single IPv4 address 64.29.17.65, which belongs to Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) and is geolocated to the United States. No TLS certificate is presented; the site served HTTP only, confirming the lack of SSL.
The page title returned from the live capture reads “Aster – The next‑gen perp DEX for all traders”, matching the advertised service but offering no further technical detail. The site advertised a “Fake Airdrop” and is linked to the publicly known Angel Drainer kit, a tool commonly used to harvest private keys and redirect cryptocurrency transactions. VirusTotal analysis recorded a single positive detection out of 95 scanning engines, indicating at least one vendor flagged the domain as malicious. Additional reputation data shows a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100 and inclusion on one external blocklist; the domain is also listed by PhishDestroy as blocked.
The domain impersonates the brand “Across”, as indicated by the intelligence tag, and the page title suggests it targets traders interested in decentralized perpetual contracts. Because the site is already offline, active harvesting is unlikely, but the infrastructure demonstrates a repeatable pattern: rapid registration, use of generic registrar nameservers, hosting on a major cloud provider, and deployment of the Angel Drainer kit. Defenders should monitor the associated IP address 64.29.17.65 for any re‑use, add the domain and its IP to internal blocklists, and watch for future registrations that reuse the same nameserver set or target the same brand.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
10 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.
Threat Ingested

A stored Cloudflare Radar report is available. The report link alone is not a malicious verdict and does not prove that every network field was captured.
The latest stored checks indicate that the reported content is unavailable; this does not establish who or what caused the change.

If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.
If a wallet, seed phrase, or account was exposed, report the incident immediately. Revoke approvals and move remaining assets to a new wallet created on a trusted device.
Beware of recovery scammers! Recovery scammers may pose as investigators, lawyers, or tracing services. Do not pay upfront fees or disclose credentials. Guaranteed crypto recovery is a fraud indicator. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do crypto scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
