The recorded recipient is abuse@spaceship.com.
The latest stored availability evidence still shows the domain reachable; 10 days has elapsed since the first outgoing report.
ICANN RAA §3.18 describes registrar abuse-contact and handling obligations. This section records outgoing timestamps, listed recipients, case identifiers, and later availability. It does not by itself prove receipt, acknowledgement, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
aaves[.]news
Analysis conducted on August 04, 2026 identifies aaves.news as an active phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating elevated risk. VirusTotal telemetry shows three of ninety-one security vendors flag the domain, though the specific detection engines and signatures are not disclosed in the available intelligence. No Safe Browsing or Open Threat Exchange (OTX) records are present in the supplied data, leaving additional community-based validation uncertain. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through a privacy-protected registrar, obscuring beneficial ownership.
Hosting details, including autonomous system number (ASN) and geolocation, remain unconfirmed. The domain resolves to a live server returning a standard HTTP 200 status, suggesting an operational phishing page, though the exact content and brand impersonation—beyond the implied association with the Aave decentralized finance protocol—are not yet analyzed. No SSL certificate details or page title metadata are available in the current evidence. Defenders are advised to treat aaves.news as an active threat.
Network-level blocking should be implemented based on the domain name and any associated IP addresses once confirmed. Endpoint protection and email security solutions should update detection rules to include this domain. Cryptocurrency wallet providers and decentralized application (dApp) browsers are encouraged to verify blocklist integration, as MetaMask and SEAL have already flagged the domain. Further investigation into hosting infrastructure and registration patterns may reveal additional linked campaigns or threat actor infrastructure.
