compensationaave.cc Fake Aave Compensation Scam Alert

This domain, compensationaave.cc, is flagged as an active high-risk phishing site targeting users of the Aave decentralized finance platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals a 301 HTTP redirect, indicating the domain is configured to forward visitors to another location, a common tactic in phishing campaigns to obscure the final malicious destination. As of July 19, 2026, the domain remains active despite being blocked by PhishDestroy and appearing on at least one security blocklist. Four out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected this domain as malicious, providing concrete evidence of its fraudulent nature. The exact content of the site has not yet been analyzed, but the domain name suggests an impersonation of Aave-related compensation or recovery schemes, a known vector for credential theft or wallet-draining attacks. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile and prioritize blocking it at the DNS or network level. Additional monitoring of related infrastructure, such as the redirect target and associated IP addresses, is recommended to identify connected threats. No registration or hosting details are currently available to assess further infrastructure links.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e8743b93bc8fbbddda5504aef5b11c64fd7da5c1524dd33a19cb1779706c3111

## 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 (operator 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.
