================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-06 22:52:20 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aave-compensationss.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Aave

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       eNom, LLC
Nameservers:     ["ns1.mysecurecloudhost.com", "ns2.mysecurecloudhost.com", "ns3.mysecurecloudhost.com", "ns4.mysecurecloudhost.com"]
Registered:      2026-05-24
Page title:      404 Not Found

## 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: 2026-05-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 03:46:49 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-07 00:20:36 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:30:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 18:31:33 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-compensationss.com is currently active and classified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate compensation or reward programs associated with the Aave platform. Despite displaying a 404 Not Found page, the infrastructure remains operational and poses a significant risk for credential harvesting or fraudulent transactions.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through eNom, LLC on May 24, 2026, an unusual creation date that may indicate an attempt to evade detection or appear legitimate. It is flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting early-stage detection. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including those maintained by independent threat intelligence providers. No associated IP address or hosting details were provided, but the registration pattern aligns with known phishing campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users.  Current status indicates the domain remains active and unmitigated. Users are advised to treat any communication or links referencing aave-compensationss.com as malicious. Organizations should update blocklists to include this domain, monitor for related subdomains or typosquatting variants, and educate users on verifying official Aave communications through authenticated channels. Security teams should investigate historical DNS records for additional indicators of compromise and assess internal exposure to this threat.

## 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 (operator 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.
