Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ave-protcol-auth.pages.dev as an active brand impersonation threat targeting Aave users. This Cloudflare Pages domain mimics Aave’s branding to deceive visitors into entering sensitive credentials or wallet information. The risk level is currently marked as under_investigation but remains a critical hazard due to its malicious intent and ongoing activity. This domain exhibits multiple red flags confirmed by threat intelligence: it resolves to IP 172.66.44.60, uses a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, and is registered through Cloudflare, Inc. Despite having 0 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal as of the latest scan, it remains unlisted on major blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and OpenPhish. This combination of factors—along with its specific targeting of the Aave brand—warrants immediate caution. To mitigate risk, users should avoid interacting with ave-protcol-auth.pages.dev entirely. Verify any Aave-related links by cross-referencing the official aave.com domain or checking Aave’s verified social media and communication channels. If you’ve already visited this site, disconnect your wallet immediately, revoke any unauthorized permissions via tools like Etherscan, and monitor for suspicious transactions. Report this domain to Aave’s security team and relevant abuse channels (e.g., Cloudflare, Google Safe Browsing) to expedite takedown. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: 9ce8a63b78cc33f1427d85f1634078f3c10671cb56d51c5c2dcc2349c309246e ## 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/ave-protcol-auth.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ave-protcol-auth.pages.dev 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.
