Registrar: Instra Corporation Pty Ltd. Nameservers: ["ns1.centralnic.net", "ns2.centralnic.net", "ns3.centralnic.net", "ns4.centralnic.net"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: רק רגע... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-15 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a76146a6fbb9eff26e3836271bc7e9a868a2500a8819d1a27e1a954a5c003903 ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:20:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:24:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198c9dd-4599-713a-81ce-404c2f9836fb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aave-gho.eu.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aave-gho.eu.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aave-gho.eu.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aave-gho.eu.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aave-gho.eu.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:33:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified the domain aave-gho.eu.com as a phishing site impersonating the cryptocurrency platform Aave. While it currently shows a low risk level and is offline, the domain was flagged on multiple security blocklists and has been used to deceive users into believing they were interacting with the legitimate Aave service. Users unfamiliar with such scams risk exposing sensitive account information, including login credentials and personal data. This phishing scheme operated by mimicking Aave’s branding and employing a misleading page titled "רק רגע..." ("Just a moment..." in Hebrew) to lure victims. The domain was newly created and registered through Instra Corporation Pty Ltd, resolving to IP address 104.21.58.30. Attackers likely attempted to harvest user credentials by presenting fake login or authorization prompts. Although only one security vendor on VirusTotal flagged this domain, the presence on three blocklists confirms its malicious intent. If a user has visited aave-gho.eu.com, it is critical to immediately change any passwords associated with Aave or other connected accounts. Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on all cryptocurrency platforms and email accounts is strongly recommended. Users should also monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity and report suspicious transactions to the legitimate Aave support team. Avoid visiting or interacting with suspicious domains, especially those mimicking trusted brands. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: a76146a6fbb9eff26e3836271bc7e9a868a2500a8819d1a27e1a954a5c003903 ## 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-gho.eu.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave-gho.eu.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.
