## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:40:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has detected app.aawve.com as an active phishing domain posing as the legitimate Aave liquidity protocol platform. This site is designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive credentials, posing significant risks such as account compromise and financial loss. Users should treat this threat with heightened caution due to its potential to exploit trust in a well-known DeFi service.

The domain app.aawve.com was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and currently resolves to the IP address 217.114.42.73. It is listed on two security blocklists and flagged by 12 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, confirming its malicious intent and ongoing activity. The page title mimics the authentic Aave branding to lure victims into a false sense of legitimacy.

Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting app.aawve.com and to never enter any login or personal information on this site. Always verify URLs carefully and access Aave only through trusted official channels. Employing updated security software and reporting suspicious domains can help reduce the risk of falling victim to phishing attacks like this one.

## 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.
