Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aave.com-app-wailets-connects-v2.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy The domain aave.com-app-wailets-connects-v2.com is a phishing site involved in brand impersonation, specifically targeting the Aave cryptocurrency platform. It is designed to deceive users into believing it is associated with Aave and potentially compromise their sensitive information. The site has been taken offline, mitigating its immediate threat. However, it was previously active and posed a risk to individuals interacting with it. Technical analysis shows that aave.com-app-wailets-connects-v2.com was detected by 5 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, including CRDF, CyRadar, and Fortinet. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, located in the US under AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. It appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate was issued by WE1, and the page title observed was 'com-app-wailets-connects-v2.com | 522: Connection timed out'. For individuals who interacted with aave.com-app-wailets-connects-v2.com, it is advised to take immediate safety measures. If cryptocurrency wallets were involved, users should revoke any token approvals and transfer their funds to a new wallet to prevent unauthorized access. For those who entered credentials, changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication is crucial. It is also important to monitor accounts for any fraudulent activities. Users can report phishing attempts to relevant authorities or platforms to aid in further protection efforts. ## 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-wailets-connects-v2.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aave.com-app-wailets-connects-v2.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.
