Score
100/100

Analysis of the domain app-aavc.exchange indicates it was a high-risk crypto drainer phishing site impersonating the Aave protocol, active as of July 24, 2026. The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolved to the IP address 172.67.209.44, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335). Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Cloudflare nameservers (ariadne.ns.cloudflare.com and rocco.ns.cloudflare.com), a common tactic to obscure hosting details and evade takedowns. The domain lacked an SSL certificate, increasing the likelihood of interception or manipulation of user data in transit.

Detection data from security vendors shows that 9 of 95 engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, a notable but not definitive indicator of compromise given the variability in vendor detection rates. The domain appears on four security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura, which specifically target phishing and crypto-related threats. The page title, 'Aave - Open Source Liquidity Protocol,' directly aligns with the reported brand target (Aave), confirming the intent to deceive users of the legitimate decentralized finance platform. The scam type is classified as wallet/seed phishing, and the domain was linked to the Angel Drainer kit, a known toolset used to siphon cryptocurrency from victims' wallets.

At the time of analysis, the domain was offline, though this does not preclude future reactivation or migration to a new domain. Defenders should treat this domain as part of an active phishing campaign targeting Aave users and prioritize blocking it at the DNS and network levels. Organizations using Aave or similar DeFi platforms are advised to monitor for similar domains registered through Cloudflare or other privacy-focused registrars, as these are frequently leveraged to extend the lifespan of phishing infrastructure.
