Evidence Summary
CRITICAL
Ref
B526915B
Score
78/100

The domain aave-governance.xyz is currently listed as active with an elevated risk rating. VirusTotal analysis shows that 3 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating a non‑trivial detection rate. Independent blocklist monitoring confirms the domain appears on three security blocklists and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL filtering services.

No additional infrastructure details such as registrar information, hosting IP, ASN, or SSL certificate data have been published in the available intelligence. The page title and any brand‑specific targeting have not been disclosed, so the exact visual mimicry or credential collection vector cannot be confirmed at this time. The evidence points to a credential‑harvesting campaign that likely targets users of the Aave governance platform, given the domain naming convention, but this inference remains unverified without page content analysis.

Defenders should add aave-governance.xyz to network and endpoint block lists, enforce DNS‑level filtering, and monitor for related traffic patterns. Security appliances that integrate the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, or SEAL blocklists will already deny access, but additional layers such as intrusion‑prevention signatures and user‑education alerts are recommended. Continuous re‑assessment is advised, as further reconnaissance could reveal hosting infrastructure or payload delivery mechanisms that would inform incident‑response actions.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
