aavefinance.store Fake Aave DeFi Portal Alert

This domain, aavefinance.store, is actively impersonating Aave, a decentralized finance protocol, as of July 16, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.170.247 and is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy. The page title is reported as 'Loading…', suggesting the site may be incomplete or dynamically loading content, though the exact functionality remains unconfirmed due to lack of direct analysis. The domain has been flagged in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, indicating prior detection by security researchers. While only two of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, this does not rule out malicious intent, particularly given the brand impersonation context.  Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its active status, association with a targeted brand, and presence in threat intelligence feeds. Immediate actions include blocking the domain and its resolving IP at the network perimeter, monitoring for user interactions, and reviewing logs for connections to 172.67.170.247. If internal users have accessed the site, investigate for potential credential exposure or unauthorized transactions. Further analysis of the site’s behavior, such as dynamic content loading or interaction with cryptocurrency wallets, is recommended to determine the full scope of the threat. Given the domain’s focus on a DeFi platform, financial teams should be alerted to potential fraudulent transaction attempts linked to this infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      ce13464f2fab297202dcf213d942eb6211369d55f01d63c5104a47681eadf422

## 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.
