# aave-app.com — MALICIOUS

> aave-app.com hosts a malicious brand impersonation and crypto drainer posing as Aave. Security vendors flag this domain — VirusTotal score: 14/95.

## Summary
PhishDestroy identifies aave-app.com as a confirmed malicious website actively impersonating Aave, the trusted decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, and operating as a crypto drainer. This site is designed to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets and approving malicious token transactions, ultimately resulting in fund theft.  If you visit aave-app.com, your browser may load a fake interface mimicking Aave’s official UI. Upon interacting—especially by connecting a crypto wallet or signing a transaction—the site may execute hidden smart contract calls through wallet approvals. These signatures can grant attackers unlimited access to your tokens or trigger unauthorized outgoing transfers. The domain’s goal is not just credential theft but direct crypto asset drainage, making it a high-risk crypto drainer with active malicious functionality.  We know aave-app.com is malicious based on multiple independent security indicators. It was registered on March 1, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious domain registrations. The site uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, resolving to IP 188.114.96.3. Most critically, 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain as malicious, and it is blocked by the PhishingDB security blocklist. These combined factors confirm elevated risk and active malicious intent.  If you or someone you know visited aave-app.com: disconnect your wallet immediately. Check your wallet transaction history for unauthorized approvals or outgoing transfers. Use a blockchain explorer like Etherscan to revoke any suspicious smart contract approvals via tools like Revoke.cash. Clear your browser cache and avoid interacting further. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and consider using a hardware wallet for future transactions. Always verify URLs match exactly with official sources—official Aave sites end in aave.com.
