No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:13:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 23:47:06 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-20 23:45:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:13:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ea99f-2e94-73cb-b3d1-409794a88545/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/97613569-7551-41a5-ba9d-50b3187d3ab5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/avael.ltd crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.avael.ltd Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=avael.ltd AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/avael.ltd URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/avael.ltd/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 13:13:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies avael.ltd as a domain posing a significant threat of credential theft, where attackers attempt to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. This domain was flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and is registered through Globaldomaingroup, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, specifically the R12 certificate, resolving to IP address 102.218.215.117. Users who have visited avael.ltd should immediately change their passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor their accounts for any suspicious activity, as the domain is still active and poses a high risk to users, with a unique seed of 4a1287 indicating a specific threat pattern. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260608-12752B TLS cert SHA-256: f36ba956c9f37c9376adb3c697022c1ae4ab626007aa3a75ed681464ae2378f0 ## 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/avael.ltd/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=avael.ltd 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.
