## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-21 14:30:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has flagged dappaave.vip as an active brand impersonation phishing domain targeting Aave users. The site mimics Aave’s branding to deceive visitors into disclosing credentials or transferring cryptocurrency. This threat type is particularly dangerous due to its direct targeting of financial services and users’ trust in established brands.  This domain was flagged with a risk level of under_investigation and is currently active. It resolves to IP 45.131.179.34 and is registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. The SSL certificate is issued by Sectigo Limited, and the domain was created on May 19, 2026. VirusTotal analysis shows 0/95 detections at this time, indicating it has not yet been widely blacklisted or flagged by security vendors. No reports of this domain appearing on blocklists or threat intelligence feeds were found during initial analysis.  To mitigate the risk of falling victim to brand impersonation phishing via dappaave.vip, users should avoid interacting with the domain entirely. Verify any unsolicited communications purporting to be from Aave by visiting the official website directly through a trusted bookmark or search engine result. If a link is received via email or message, do not click it; instead, manually navigate to the official platform. Report suspicious domains to your security team or use trusted threat intelligence platforms for further validation. Always enable multi-factor authentication on cryptocurrency platforms and treat unexpected requests for login credentials or financial transfers with extreme caution.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e92aff9e8303ab1b811a83cda035c6f140f14b71dbe40f6bcba894badd1fe85c

## 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.
