# PhishDestroy threat dossier — app-aave-l1.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 06:07:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/app-aave-l1.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.199.36 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: carrera.ns.cloudflare.com, trace.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-27 Expires: 2027-06-27 Page title: app-aave-l1.com ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 5ec5933f2b2e439fc1a6809e111085a53b0257cb2e56a4365a1e6bd08fb084be ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 05:43:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-02 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bc5-5068-758a-ab5f-2a184d4ae279/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/app-aave-l1.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.app-aave-l1.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=app-aave-l1.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/app-aave-l1.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/app-aave-l1.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 05:44:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, app-aave-l1.com, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate Aave interfaces to deceive users into disclosing credentials or transferring assets. No drainer kit signatures have been identified at this stage, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with phishing infrastructure, including a recently registered domain name and a page title matching the URL structure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 27, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 172.67.199.36, a Cloudflare-assigned address often used to obfuscate hosting origins. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0/95 detections, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not listed the domain, and no blocklist entries have been recorded at this time. The domain remains active, and no takedown actions have been observed. While the current detection rate is low, the lack of prior scrutiny increases the risk of successful phishing campaigns. Users and organizations are advised to block the domain at the network level and monitor for connections to 172.67.199.36. Security teams should prioritize retroactive log analysis for any interactions with app-aave-l1.com, particularly in environments where Aave or other DeFi platforms are in use. Continuous monitoring for additional detections or malicious payloads is recommended due to the domain's recent registration and active status. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 5ec5933f2b2e439fc1a6809e111085a53b0257cb2e56a4365a1e6bd08fb084be ## 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/app-aave-l1.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-aave-l1.com 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.
