Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified aave-crypto.co as a domain associated with generic phishing activities, though it currently poses a low threat level. The domain was flagged due to its suspicious nature and presence on multiple security blocklists, indicating attempts to deceive users possibly by mimicking legitimate crypto services. Despite this, the overall risk remains low, reflecting limited evidence of active malicious campaigns. aave-crypto.co was registered on February 21, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 193.24.123.182. It appeared on three distinct security blocklists and was flagged by 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting some level of detection but not widespread consensus. The website itself returned a "404 Not Found" page, indicating no live content was hosted at the time of analysis, which can often be a tactic to evade detection or a sign of a recently disabled phishing operation. Currently, aave-crypto.co is taken offline and inaccessible, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends users remain cautious about domains with similar naming conventions that attempt to impersonate legitimate crypto platforms. It is advisable to avoid interacting with such domains and to verify URLs carefully before entering any sensitive information. Continued monitoring is suggested to detect any potential reactivation or similar emerging threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c55671ebc5269c8faf65402c4124dcb2a24df7a5d00a2e0563e69db5102bc3fb ## 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-crypto.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave-crypto.co 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.
