## INFRASTRUCTURE

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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 02:37:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aave.com-secure-wallets-service-app.cloud as a medium-risk fraudulent domain targeting the Aave brand. This domain was designed to deceive users by mimicking Aave's official liquidity protocol platform, aiming to drain cryptocurrency wallets through a specialized Angel Drainer kit. Although currently offline, the risk posed while active was significant due to its targeted impersonation scheme.

The domain was registered recently on October 17, 2025, via WEBCC, and resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3. It appeared on multiple security blocklists and triggered flags from five security vendors on VirusTotal, underscoring its malicious intent. The page title closely resembled the legitimate Aave platform, increasing the likelihood of user confusion and successful credential theft or fund draining.

To mitigate exposure, users should avoid interacting with this domain or any suspicious URLs resembling Aave or other DeFi platforms. Security teams are advised to block this domain proactively and educate users on verifying official URLs. Continuous monitoring for similar emerging threats using Angel Drainer kits is critical to safeguarding cryptocurrency assets and preventing phishing losses.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       56ab4a8a2e2a3a19309e85cf5f8229783c7c707c543b1cd57010209fc77bf6bf

## 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.
