# PhishDestroy threat dossier — blockwave-miners.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-13 14:05:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/blockwave-miners.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 77/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/92 security vendors flagged this domain URLQuery: 1 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.251.84.200 (LU, Luxembourg) ASN: AS53667 FranTech Solutions Hosting org: FranTech Solutions Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu Nameservers: ["ns5.asurahosting.com", "ns6.asurahosting.com"] Registered: 2026-05-11 ## 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: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-12 00:49:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-11 21:50:22 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-13 04:16:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 01:00:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019e1902-2519-7139-8957-f244d2599684/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/27ff14bf-9794-4b84-b3be-3ef46ee923ec Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/blockwave-miners.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.blockwave-miners.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=blockwave-miners.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/blockwave-miners.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/blockwave-miners.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-12 00:49:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies blockwave-miners.com (seed: b9758d) as an active brand impersonation domain impersonating Aave. As of the latest analysis, the domain remains under investigation but exhibits high-risk indicators consistent with phishing campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users. The threat is classified as an impersonation attack due to its intentional mimicry of Aave's branding, likely aimed at deceiving users into divulging sensitive information or funds. blockwave-miners.com was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating no immediate detection by automated scanning tools, which is common for newly deployed phishing domains. The domain resolves to IP address 198.251.84.200 and is registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. Notably, the domain was created on January 07, 2026, and secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate. Despite the lack of VirusTotal detections, the domain's recent creation date and impersonation tactics warrant heightened scrutiny. Trust scores and blocklist status remain undetermined at this stage, but the absence of detections does not equate to safety. Given the active status of blockwave-miners.com and its association with a high-value cryptocurrency brand, PhishDestroy classifies this domain as a HIGH PRIORITY threat requiring immediate attention from security researchers and users. Recommendations include blocking the domain at the network level, avoiding interaction with the URL, and reporting the domain to relevant threat intelligence platforms (e.g., VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing). Users who may have previously accessed the site should check for signs of credential compromise and enable multi-factor authentication on their Aave accounts. Security teams are advised to monitor for related infrastructure or additional impersonation domains, as threat actors often expand campaigns rapidly. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260511-715DDB ## 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/blockwave-miners.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=blockwave-miners.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.
