## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      2606:4700:3037::6815:36af (US, San Francisco)

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:23:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies app.aavs.exchange as a medium-risk threat domain classified as a crypto drainer. This domain was designed to illicitly extract cryptocurrency assets from victims, posing a significant financial risk to users interacting with it.

Supporting intelligence reveals app.aavs.exchange had a very low trust score of 1/100 from Scamadviser and was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. It was detected by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and listed on one security blocklist. The domain hosted Angel Drainer malware, a known crypto drainer kit, and resolved to the IPv6 address 2606:4700:3037::6815:36af. The page title mimicked a legitimate DeFi protocol, likely to deceive users.

Currently, app.aavs.exchange has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should remain vigilant and avoid any engagement with similar suspicious domains. Employ updated security solutions and verify website legitimacy before transacting crypto assets to mitigate potential exposure to crypto draining attacks.

## 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.
