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: 2026-06-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 10:03:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-20 08:10:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 18:18:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee40d-43bd-732b-9fdb-d7f03368419a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/540888eb-0918-409a-b1b1-a684392b2e24 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aavee-defi.club crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aavee-defi.club Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aavee-defi.club AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aavee-defi.club URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aavee-defi.club/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 10:20:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain aavee-defi.club is an impersonation scam targeting the Aave DeFi brand. The page title claims to offer "Aave DeFi Protocol: TVL, Aave Swap & Multi-Chain Lending in 2025 | DeFi Chronicle," but this is a fraudulent site designed to deceive users into interacting with a fake platform. The threat involves credential harvesting, phishing, or financial theft by mimicking legitimate DeFi services. Technical analysis reveals the site was flagged by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, and SOCRadar. It is present on 3 blocklists. The domain was registered on 2026-06-18 via Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and resolves to IP 172.67.164.124 (US), hosted by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. SSL is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1. Nameservers are jamie.ns.cloudflare.com and nick.ns.cloudflare.com. Technologies include Cloudflare Browser Insights. The DOM risk score is 73, indicating high malicious potential. The site is currently offline and has a GridinSoft trust score of 0/100, confirming its malicious nature. The risk level is high due to the impersonation of a major DeFi brand, multiple security vendor flags, and a high DOM risk score. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260620-82006A Favicon MD5: a0879a8366c9a059c51960c67e1ae7a7 TLS cert SHA-256: f0af1bf237bb6bba3ff96c8a4395ba6afb6aa1d1340b298a288999a68c88d024 ## 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/aavee-defi.club/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aavee-defi.club 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.
