Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ns1.dyna-ns.net, ns2.dyna-ns.net Registered: 2026-06-22 Expires: 2027-06-22 Page title: FLAP / AAVE — Liquidity Vault ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 33644f165c0b1a6ac4903a6c8d16de6d1d5bad9321d4272c60a711ec9a216c8d Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.aave-bank.xyz ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 12:58:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 10:59:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 03:15:13 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-24 18:19:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef946-f5ea-772d-810d-02fc702af884/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/adac3432-b700-490b-bf44-e449d5a73415 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aave-bank.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aave-bank.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aave-bank.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aave-bank.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aave-bank.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 18:16:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain aave-bank.xyz is actively serving traffic and impersonates the brand Aave, with a high threat score of 75/100. VirusTotal reports that 3 out of 95 security vendors, including alphaMountain.ai, Ermes, and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, have flagged this domain as malicious. It is also listed on one public blocklist, although Google Safe Browsing has not flagged it. Registered with Dynadot Inc, the domain was created on June 22, 2026, and first seen on June 24, 2026. The hosting IP is 75.2.60.5. The limited detection count and blocklist status indicate a potential for increased malicious activity as it gains visibility. Immediate action is warranted: block the domain at the perimeter and submit a report to the registrar's abuse desk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-AE1F52 TLS cert SHA-256: 33644f165c0b1a6ac4903a6c8d16de6d1d5bad9321d4272c60a711ec9a216c8d ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aave-bank.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave-bank.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
