Given the combination of a low trust score, a positive detection, blocklist inclusion, and the specific wallet/seed phishing classification, defenders should add aster-dex.ai to deny‑list rules, monitor for any residual DNS queries, and ensure that endpoint protection solutions are configured to block connections to the associated IP address 104.21.33.152. Continuous observation of the registrar’s activity and any re‑registration attempts is also recommended.
