No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-02 06:25:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-07 10:37:02 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de6b6-adaa-7489-b31a-b95943555640/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aave-compensation.eth.limo crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aave-compensation.eth.limo Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aave-compensation.eth.limo AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aave-compensation.eth.limo URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aave-compensation.eth.limo/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-02 06:26:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aave-compensation.eth.limo as an active crypto drainer impersonating the Aave protocol, leveraging brand confusion to steal cryptocurrency. This Ethereum Name Service subdomain (eth.limo gateway) mimics legitimate Aave compensation portals to deceive users into connecting wallets and approving malicious transactions. The site instructs visitors to 'claim compensation' while silently draining funds through compromised smart contract interactions – a hallmark of crypto drainer campaigns targeting DeFi users. Investigative data reveals this domain is a brand impersonation threat resolving to IP 3.135.72.151, with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate typically used to appear legitimate. VirusTotal currently shows 0/95 security engine detections, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus solutions. The domain remains active despite the security community's ongoing monitoring, suggesting it may be recently deployed or using evasion tactics. Attribution remains under investigation as researchers analyze its infrastructure and associated wallet addresses. If you visited aave-compensation.eth.limo, immediately revoke any wallet connection permissions through tools like Revoke.cash or your wallet's connection manager. Do not interact with any pending transactions – your funds may already be at risk. Consider transferring remaining assets to a fresh wallet address. Report the domain to security platforms like Google Safe Browsing or PhishDestroy to help block future attacks against other users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 9/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 990a35c5a46642306be2f9b4d3f21f39 TLS cert SHA-256: 80cb4b120e5ac49f8bdb1921c12091e660a010df74eb6a6831d2a3816298078a ## 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-compensation.eth.limo/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave-compensation.eth.limo 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.
