Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com | 522: Connection timed out ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WE1 Status: INVALID chain ## 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 23:22:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:22:49 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-31 12:21:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-17 00:04:10 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0199a298-a315-7741-bb56-de3aa940c52d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-25 01:03:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com: Confirmed Crypto Scam On 24 July 2026 the domain aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com was observed to be offline but its historical infrastructure indicates a confirmed crypto‑scam campaign targeting users of the Aave platform. The domain was registered on 21 February 2026 and resolves to the IP address 104.21.75.195, which belongs to Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and is geolocated in the United States. The TLS certificate presented for the host is identified as “WE1”, a generic Cloudflare‑issued certificate that does not provide any brand‑specific validation. An HTTP request to the site returned a 522 status code (“Connection timed out”), and the page title captured by scanners reads “com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com | 522: Connection timed out”. VirusTotal scans show that five out of ninety‑three security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. The risk rating assigned by the reporting system is “elevated”, reflecting the combination of brand impersonation (Aave), the use of a reputable CDN to hide origin, and the presence of multiple vendor detections. No further content was captured before the takedown, so the exact phishing page layout and credential‑harvesting mechanisms remain unknown. Defenders should continue to deny any network traffic to the resolved IP address, add the fully qualified domain name to local and upstream DNS blocklists, and monitor for newly registered domains that reuse the “aave.com‑app‑connect‑v2‑wallet.com” pattern. Continued observation of Cloudflare‑originated IP ranges for similar short‑lived domains is recommended, as the infrastructure may be repurposed for future campaigns. ## 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.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave.com-app-connect-v2-wallet.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
