# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mail.astralteam.ru ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-17 15:29:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mail.astralteam.ru/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 49/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/92 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 95.85.251.53 (FI, Helsinki) ASN: AS201988 VPSPay ASN Hosting org: VPSPay Networks LTD Registrar: REGRU-RU Nameservers: ns1.reg.ru., ns2.reg.ru. Registered: 2025-04-23 ## 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: 2025-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-15 22:26:48 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-15 19:28:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-16 07:40:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-16 01:10:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e2d19-9c68-74f9-a670-6b6eaadb551c/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/707ed764-112e-4828-8127-be3af9ce7c59 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mail.astralteam.ru crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mail.astralteam.ru Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mail.astralteam.ru AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mail.astralteam.ru URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mail.astralteam.ru/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-15 22:27:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mail.astralteam.ru as an active crypto drainer impersonating the Astral Team brand. The domain is currently under investigation but remains operational, posing a severe risk to cryptocurrency users. Astral Team is a legitimate decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, and threat actors are exploiting its reputation to deceive victims into connecting wallets and approving malicious transactions. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating it has not yet been widely blacklisted despite its malicious intent. The domain is registered through REGRU-RU, resolves to IP 95.85.251.53, and was created on April 23, 2025. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which does not inherently validate the domain's legitimacy. The combination of a recently registered domain, low VirusTotal detections, and the impersonation of a reputable DeFi brand suggests an emerging and rapidly evolving threat. As this domain is active and unblocked by most security vendors, users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with it entirely. If you have recently visited mail.astralteam.ru or entered any credentials, immediately revoke wallet permissions, transfer funds to a secure wallet, and scan your device for malware. Security teams should block this domain and IP at the network level while monitoring for additional malicious domains leveraging the Astral Team brand. Exercise heightened caution with any unsolicited communications referencing Astral Team or similar DeFi platforms, and verify all URLs through official channels before taking any action. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260515-D31696 Favicon MD5: fafaaae1a9f39c6d85756bb6f281a6a1 ## 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/mail.astralteam.ru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mail.astralteam.ru 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.
