# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 16:59:43 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 90/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.24.86 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-25 10:25:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-26 00:16:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efde1-4e9a-70f7-ae14-0bd0c65c9847/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:32:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com, is actively impersonating the Aave brand, posing a significant risk of brand impersonation to users. The domain is designed to deceive individuals into believing they are interacting with legitimate Aave services, potentially leading to unauthorized access to personal information, financial data, and cryptocurrency assets. Analysis indicates that the domain is currently registered through NameSilo, LLC, and was created on May 01, 2026. Despite its recent creation, it has already been flagged on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is a common practice among phishing sites to gain user trust. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.21.24.86, located in the United States and associated with Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335). VirusTotal, a widely used threat detection platform, has not yet flagged the domain, with 0 out of 95 detections. This low detection rate suggests that the domain may still be under the radar of many security systems, increasing the risk of successful impersonation attacks. If users have visited aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com, they are advised to immediately change any passwords or credentials that may have been entered on the site. Additionally, users should monitor their financial accounts and cryptocurrency wallets for any unauthorized activity. It is recommended to report the incident to Aave's official support channels and to avoid clicking on any links or downloading any files from the domain. Users are also encouraged to verify the authenticity of any communications claiming to be from Aave by directly visiting the official Aave website or using verified contact methods. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 11bf63acc8db1a7b29abc828712d521918c251e4ee91ca3ae5921c043e827e39 ## 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-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave-boost-stake.web3-openhub.com 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.
