No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-17 08:49:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-20 17:16:51 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e347a-2534-75e8-9d2d-7c874ef90de9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/boost-aave.us crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.boost-aave.us Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=boost-aave.us AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/boost-aave.us URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/boost-aave.us/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-17 08:49:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies boost-aave.us as an active brand impersonation scam impersonating the Aave protocol. The domain is a replica site designed to deceive users into connecting crypto wallets and approving malicious transactions. While no drainer kit artifacts have been extracted yet, behavioral analysis confirms the site prompts wallet connections and falsely displays Aave branding to gain user trust. Technical indicators confirm the threat: VirusTotal shows 0 detections out of 95 engines as of the latest scan, indicating low signature-based detection despite active hosting. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Registration details are pending full WHOIS disclosure, but the domain appears recently created with no long-term history. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged the domain, and public blocklists show zero entries. These factors suggest a newly deployed campaign still evading widespread detection. This domain is currently ACTIVE and under active threat monitoring. PhishDestroy has flagged this campaign for takedown escalation and domain blacklisting. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting boost-aave.us or clicking any links from emails or social media promoting it. The risk remains HIGH due to successful SSL usage, low VT detection, and active operation. Users interacting with Aave should verify site URLs and use official bookmarks or the aave.com domain. Report any suspicious activity immediately to your security team or phishing response platforms. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 43365839589fc348172246e108c1297c TLS cert SHA-256: 3feb8d9cd0af48be78425ab381731d3ba82be84ce86534078fbe60ecd2ff586e ## 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/boost-aave.us/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=boost-aave.us 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.
