Domain was flagged dead on 2026-03-16 03:13:17 UTC but a fresh report was filed on 2026-03-22 16:26:13 UTC — it is back or never truly suspended. Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-03-22 16:26:13 UTC Days since first notice: 76 — no registrar action, domain remains online ICANN Compliance CC'd on at least one escalation — non-response is on record. Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF. ICANN RAA Sec. 3.18 applies. Per-report timeline: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital/#coordinated-suppression ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-24 19:13:23 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Flagged dead: 2026-06-06 15:24:45 UTC (SUPERSEDED — fresh report filed after this date, see ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY) Current status: ACTIVE (flagged dead but resurrected — registrar did not act on fresh reports) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bf07a-0b78-700c-85a8-e28ce477e924/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/779aa8ca-54e2-4351-b29e-94bf9c8fdaf9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:36:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital as an active phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users through a fake AAV airdrop leaderboard. The site lures victims by promising rewards based on task completion, aiming to steal sensitive crypto credentials and drain wallets. The domain employs social engineering tactics centered on the popular concept of crypto airdrops to attract users. Technically, the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, via HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and currently resolves to the IP address 89.116.37.88. Despite low detection rates—with only one out of ninety-five security vendors flagging it and appearing on one security blocklist—the domain remains active and accessible. The page title and content are crafted to mimic legitimate crypto giveaway competitions, increasing its deceptive appeal. Though the risk level is classified as low, the domain is still live and poses a threat to unsuspecting users. PhishDestroy recommends immediate caution and avoidance of any interaction with this site. Security teams should update filters to block this domain and monitor related activity to prevent potential crypto asset losses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260124-FE80C5 Favicon SHA-256: 329090666717a9a6ce15b65ef944997bed58fec328ffacbc1eee04d4d6bec45e TLS cert SHA-256: cd23fec75cb26b9f989a242ef19bbd6d842de8522694a677a23f9386b9ef830e ## 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/aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aavleaderboard.assetavenue.capital 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.
