Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: damien.ns.cloudflare.com, zara.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-09-21 Expires: 2026-09-21 Page title: ACI × Aave — All‑Partners Staker Rewards HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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: 2025-09-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-23 03:01:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:12:07 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 06:12:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01997484-4aa9-70f4-b2b0-496e2fc08248/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 02:29:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com as a medium-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the decentralized finance platform Aave. The domain was registered on 2025-09-21 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, indicating a recent effort to exploit the Aave brand's reputation. The use of 'aave' in the subdomain and domain name suggests intent to deceive users seeking legitimate Aave services. Technical indicators reveal the domain resolves to IP address 64.29.17.65 and has appeared on one security blocklist, confirming its suspicious activity. The domain's creation date and registrar data further support its classification as a fraudulent asset designed to mislead victims into divulging sensitive information or performing unauthorized transactions. Currently, aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com is taken offline, mitigating immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends continued monitoring of similar variants and advises users to avoid engagement with any domains closely mimicking Aave's brand, especially those registered through less reputable providers. Maintaining vigilance helps protect user credentials and assets from compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: fbc1f75cda871570087d15f628d3529992f2f1b3ea525cfaf9a2e876eb2b76f5 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aavechan.stkaaveclaim.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aavechan.stkaaveclaim.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
