## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 12:00:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

reward-asterdex.xyz was identified as a generic phishing domain, specifically a crypto drainer designed to steal cryptocurrency credentials by impersonating the legitimate Asterdex platform. The domain is currently offline, indicating potential takedown action or abandonment.

Technical analysis reveals that the domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. VirusTotal scan results show it was flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors, a significant detection ratio. The domain resolves to IP address 104.21.66.47 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). The unique seed '0a5176' was used for this analysis.

As the domain is offline, the immediate threat is mitigated, but users should remain vigilant. PhishDestroy recommends that users never interact with unsolicited links or login pages, always verify domain authenticity via official sources, and use browser security extensions. If credentials were entered, change them immediately and enable two-factor authentication.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260610-BE2EF3
TLS cert SHA-256:      0c7a6c9b9729b302f2a927096f5246ae09eaba08698a36cdac39bf66a1923764

## 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.
