Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] A newly observed malicious domain, aero-finance.lat, is actively impersonating the legitimate Yearn Finance brand to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency assets. This site leverages the trusted reputation of Yearn to appear legitimate, creating an elevated risk for both retail and institutional users engaged in decentralized finance activities. The threat actor behind this infrastructure has rapidly deployed infrastructure targeting specific protocols, likely aiming to capitalize on user trust during high-activity periods. PhishDestroy identifies this domain aero-finance.lat as a Yearn brand impersonation attack vector. Security vendor detection stands at 2 out of 95 engines on VirusTotal, the domain was registered via NAMECHEAP INC, created on May 19, 2026, and currently appears on three security blocklists including MetaMask and SEAL. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, enhancing its credibility and reducing user suspicion. The combination of low initial detection, recent domain registration, and multiple blocklist inclusions underscores the sophistication and rapid evolution of this threat campaign. Organizations and individual users should treat this domain as compromised and avoid all interaction. If any user has visited aero-finance.lat or entered credentials, immediately reset associated wallet passwords, revoke any token approvals via tools like revoke.cash, and monitor blockchain transactions for unauthorized asset transfers. Report the domain to your security team and add it to internal blocklists. Users are urged to verify all URLs manually, use hardware wallets for large transactions, and rely on official Yearn Finance channels for communication to mitigate ongoing exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3f9029ccb50f63fa79c58553da80c7b1 ## 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/aero-finance.lat/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aero-finance.lat 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.
