Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] aaveswap.at Safety Check — Brand Impersonation Detected The domain aaveswap.at is currently active and poses a significant brand impersonation threat to Aave. This domain is designed to mimic Aave, one of the leading decentralized finance lending protocols, in an effort to mislead users and potentially extract sensitive information or funds. As part of its operations, it employs infrastructure that can compromise the integrity of Aave's brand reputation and could potentially facilitate fraudulent activities such as phishing or credential harvesting. Technical indicators associated with this domain reveal a VirusTotal score of 2/95 security vendors, indicating that while it is not universally flagged, there is still notable concern which suggests that some vendors recognize it as potentially harmful. The domain resolves to the IP address 209.74.82.247 and is registered through Hosting concepts B.V. via Registrar.eu. There is currently insufficient information regarding the creation date of the domain, and it does have a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may lend it a superficial degree of legitimacy despite its malicious intent. Furthermore, it has not been associated with any Google Safe Browsing (GSB) issues but has indicators that could lead to blocklisting. At present, aaveswap.at remains active, continuing to pose a high risk for brand impersonation-related threats. Immediate response actions should involve notifying stakeholders associated with Aave, monitoring for phishing campaigns utilizing this domain, and potentially pursuing takedown requests with the registrar. Users and potential victims are advised to exercise caution and perform due diligence when encountering this domain or any communications derived from it. Continued vigilance will be essential until the domain is neutralized. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 4f38ac19fc8ad98770036541ef0b544e TLS cert SHA-256: e344704da576705224afafd44092cfe9ec2c7a8b19d388a32f189ed0747b573c ## 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/aaveswap.at/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aaveswap.at 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.
