## 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.

aavenodedelegator.site Aave Impersonation Scam

The domain aavenodedelegator.site has been taken down but was previously used to impersonate the decentralized finance platform Aave. It was detected by PhishDestroy on June 22, 2026, just 15 days after its creation. Despite its offline status, it managed to get flagged by one out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal and was listed on four public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, ScamSniffer, and SEAL.

This phishing operation likely aimed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or transferring funds under the guise of Aave's brand. The domain was registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited dba WebNic.cc and hosted on an IP address managed by Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States. Its SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, adding a veneer of legitimacy to its fraudulent activities.

The relatively low detection rate on VirusTotal highlights the ongoing challenge of identifying fresh phishing domains before they can cause significant harm. PhishDestroy's upstream detection capabilities allowed for early identification of this threat, demonstrating the importance of proactive monitoring in the cybersecurity landscape. Although the domain is now offline, its presence on multiple blocklists underlines the potential risk it posed to Aave users.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260622-CC91CC
TLS cert SHA-256:      f658a8bcca2c28b43f9d2dd66ed6dd9aa3d4367c50fd2fac292b72245e1c3ae6

## 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.
