Analysis of darkstar.foundation shows a high‑risk crypto drainer operation that was taken offline prior to the report date of July 24, 2026. The domain was registered on August 04, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the Cloudflare address 172.67.193.149, an IP located in the United States under ASN 13335. The site hosted no SSL certificate, indicating unencrypted HTTP communications, and its page title was observed as "DarkStar". The infrastructure utilizes Cloudflare name servers (jessica.ns.cloudflare.com and sean.ns.cloudflare.com), a common tactic to mask origin.
Threat actors employed the Angel Drainer kit, a known wallet/seed phishing module, and specifically impersonated the MetaMask brand to lure cryptocurrency users into submitting private keys or seed phrases. Security telemetry records two of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagging the domain, while Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reflecting a unanimous assessment of malicious intent. The domain appears on two external blocklists and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, reinforcing its classification as a phishing conduit.
Current evidence does not reveal the exact content served at the URL, nor any post‑exploitation payloads, leaving the exact victim interaction pathway uncertain. Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeter devices, update URL filtering lists with the associated IP and hostnames, and monitor for any residual traffic signatures tied to the Angel Drainer kit. Incident response teams should also educate users about unauthorized MetaMask prompts and enforce strict controls on seed phrase handling, as the campaign’s primary objective was to harvest credential data for crypto asset theft.

인증 및 RAA 상황
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.
An estimated time describes an observation window. It does not prove a registrar action or the exact moment a site became unavailable.

About this reportSources, observation dates and corrections
This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.
The AI-assisted analysis was written on . It describes the evidence available at that time; later source checks can change.
A capture documents what was shown. A scanner result records that provider’s assessment at the time of its check. Neither a valid certificate nor a zero-detection result is a guarantee of safety.
