Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain aave-dappx.sh poses a phishing risk by impersonating the Aave decentralized finance platform. With a VirusTotal detection score of 14 out of 95 and a Scamadviser trust score of only 25, it is classified as likely unsafe. This domain can deceive individuals into providing sensitive information, potentially leading to financial losses.

Registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain is 200 days old and hosted on an IP address associated with multiple low-rated websites. Notably, Scamadviser warns that the owner hides his identity through a paid WHOIS service, and the website has limited visitor traffic, raising red flags. The domain has been flagged for operating in a potentially dangerous environment, as it shares hosting with known spammers and scammers.

Currently, aave-dappx.sh is marked as dead, having been successfully taken down. PhishDestroy reported and blocklisted the domain to minimize the risk of phishing attacks and is actively monitoring for any resurgence of similar threats.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam.
