No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-21 15:30:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-31 12:54:06 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 00:23:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aaveplatform.xyz — Phishing Investigation Report This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation targeting Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. Registered on May 21, 2026, through GMO Internet Group, Inc. d/b/a Onamae.com, the domain is currently active and resolves to IP address 76.223.54.146, located in the United States via AWS Global Accelerator (GLOBAL). The HTTP status code is 200, indicating the site is live. VirusTotal reports 1 of 91 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious, and it appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. AlienVault OTX has recorded it in one threat intelligence pulse. The SSL certificate is issued by GoDaddy.com, using a GoDaddy TLS Intermediate CA DV - R1v1. The nameservers are ns5.afternic.com and ns6.afternic.com, with an additional verification entry. The Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, confirming strong indicators of malicious activity. The scam type is identified as a Crypto Drainer, designed to steal cryptocurrency assets by impersonating Aave. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain uses AWS Global Accelerator, which can obscure the origin server and provide resilience against takedown attempts. The domain is still active and continues to pose a threat. Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious, block it at the network and DNS levels, and monitor for related infrastructure or variations. Users should be warned not to interact with the domain or connect any cryptocurrency wallets to it. Further analysis of the site content is recommended to identify specific wallet-draining mechanisms. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: d1349cd5a2311170e96477ad88a017c2b0a471312a3da693fe179b6414236f86 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aaveplatform.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aaveplatform.xyz 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
