Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain aaveswap.app as an active brand-impersonation threat designed to harvest wallet credentials and initiate crypto drainer operations targeting Aave users. The infrastructure is provisioned for illicit token-transfer abuse, with fraudulent login pages mirroring the legitimate Aave interface to deceive visitors into connecting malicious wallets. Certificate data shows the site is issued a TrustAsia Technologies, Inc. SSL leaf under the common name ‘aaveswap.app’, confirming operational TLS encryption used to obscure traffic exfiltration to 43.174.241.1. Technical indicators reveal an elevated risk posture: VirusTotal scores the page 2/95 detections as of current telemetry, indicating limited but present antivirus coverage. The domain was created on April 09, 2026 via Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu and resolves to IPv4 43.174.241.1. Google Safe Browsing has not yet blacklisted the URL, and aggregated threat-intel sources show zero third-party blocklist inclusions at time of analysis, suggesting fresh deployment and minimal historic exposure. The campaign is currently active as of seed d8071a, with real-time sinkholing of interconnected addresses ongoing. Users are advised to avoid the domain entirely; any attempt to connect a wallet triggers drainer execution logic. PhishDestroy continues to monitor the IP range and certificate chain for expansion. Despite low blocklist counts, the customized brand impersonation and drainer payload elevate baseline risk to elevated, warranting immediate caution and signature updates for network defenses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-9D76D8 Favicon MD5: 101a395ae5563f6afaa49a49dca79cf8 TLS cert SHA-256: 6866fed24400fadacf67b7ed14b77d8b9749728f2d9c8668ad6c25771d944f5e ## 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 (volunteer 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/aaveswap.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aaveswap.app 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
