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: 2026-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 07:29:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-13 07:29:02 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-27 12:04:31 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebf76-95e5-77ff-89d8-4d3b26d548d9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aaverage.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aaverage.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aaverage.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aaverage.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aaverage.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 09:40:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aaverage.com — Aave Brand Impersonation Alert Under Review PhishDestroy has flagged aaverage.com as part of an ongoing investigation into brand impersonation targeting Aave, a decentralized finance platform. The domain is currently classified as under_investigation due to its potential to deceive users through fake login portals, wallet credential harvesting, or fraudulent token offers. While no active malicious activity has been confirmed, the domain’s intent to mimic Aave’s branding raises significant concerns for user security in the DeFi space. This domain was registered through SevenX LLC and previously resolved to the IP address 124.156.114.76. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security engines, indicating no immediate flags from antivirus or anti-phishing tools. The domain is currently offline, which may suggest takedown efforts or a temporary pause in malicious operations. However, the lack of prior detections does not guarantee safety, as brand impersonation domains often evade initial scans until active exploitation begins. No blocklist entries or trust scores have been recorded yet, leaving its historical behavior largely unvalidated. Users and organizations are advised to treat aaverage.com as high-risk until further analysis is completed. If encountered, avoid interacting with the domain or any associated links, especially those claiming to offer Aave services, staking rewards, or wallet integrations. Aave users should verify all URLs against the official aave.com domain and enable multi-factor authentication on their accounts. Security teams are encouraged to monitor network traffic for connections to 124.156.114.76 and block the domain preemptively. Report any suspicious activity to Aave’s official security channels or platforms like PhishTank to aid in broader threat mitigation efforts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 855997ee092cd0324cb5d0aa88261300bd7fe7b6e77a067825dd8c7bcd4e4276 ## 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/aaverage.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aaverage.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
