Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aave.cm: Brand Impersonation Site PhishDestroy identifies the domain aave.cm as having an elevated risk level due to its involvement in a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the Aave brand. This domain was flagged for its malicious behavior, and upon investigation, it was found that aave.cm resolves to the IP address 35.207.159.246, was created on May 14, 2026, and is registered through Netcom.cm Sarl, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt / R13, and is currently flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and appears on 3 security blocklists. The domain aave.cm's malicious nature is further emphasized by its brief existence and the low trust scores it has garnered, which necessitates caution when encountering this domain. Its brand impersonation tactics are designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information, making it crucial to be aware of such threats. To mitigate the risks associated with brand impersonation threats like the one posed by aave.cm, users are advised to exercise extreme caution when interacting with websites that request sensitive information, especially those that closely resemble legitimate brands. Verifying the authenticity of a website by checking its URL and looking for any signs of impersonation, such as spelling mistakes or inconsistent branding, can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to these types of threats. By being vigilant and taking the necessary precautions, users can protect themselves from the potential harm caused by domains like aave.cm. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: db49d87058c0d63d75244966e16f8e48a74cfa9ad3e2e54dac799a69fad1c6ba ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aave.cm/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave.cm 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
