## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:53:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies aevc.app as an active phishing domain masquerading under the guise of the legitimate Aave liquidity protocol, evident from its deceptive page title "Aave - Open Source Liquidity Protocol." Classified as generic phishing, this site aims to trick users into revealing sensitive information by leveraging brand impersonation techniques.

Technically, aevc.app resolves to IP address 104.21.61.171 and was registered recently on February 21, 2026. It is currently flagged on three prominent security blocklists, and 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detect it as malicious. The domain’s infrastructure and hosting details suggest ongoing efforts to evade detection, likely to ensnare users seeking cryptocurrency liquidity services.

The domain remains active and continues to pose a significant threat to Aave users and the broader DeFi community. PhishDestroy recommends blocking access to aevc.app and monitoring related activity closely. Users should be vigilant when interacting with URLs resembling popular crypto platforms and verify authenticity before submitting credentials or sensitive data.

## 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.
