cross-chain-swap[.]com

PhishDestroy has identified cross-chain-swap.com as a high-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting the Aave decentralized finance protocol. This domain was designed to deceive users seeking cross-chain cryptocurrency swaps, leveraging a fake interface to steal sensitive information or funds. The site's title, 'Cross Chain Swaps for Bitcoin without KYC,' is a lure to attract crypto traders looking for privacy.

Technical indicators paint a clear picture of malicious intent. The domain was created on November 23, 2025, through registrar SOLLUTIUM LLC, and resolves to IP address 104.21.48.128. It uses an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services (WE1). VirusTotal analysis shows 11 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious, and it appears on 4 security blocklists. Despite being taken offline, the domain's registration details and hosting infrastructure suggest rapid deployment for phishing campaigns.

For users who may have encountered this domain, immediate action is critical. Since this is a brand impersonation of Aave, do not enter any wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases on any site claiming to offer cross-chain swaps without KYC. Always verify URLs against official Aave documentation. If you have already interacted with the site, transfer your assets to a new wallet, enable two-factor authentication on all crypto accounts, and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to Aave's security team and relevant authorities to help prevent future attacks. PhishDestroy urges constant vigilance against such sophisticated phishing attempts in the decentralized finance space.
