# PhishDestroy threat dossier — elitewave.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 18:35:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/elitewave.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 75/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, Gridinsoft, Netcraft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 2a02:4780:9:1728:0:3868:1898:a (LT, Vilnius) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

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: 2026-01-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 16:48:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 14:56:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f13d9-19a9-7658-9e3f-1689370c1541/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/81ce6300-d9e6-4ef9-b7a4-bf1d36870ba4 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/elitewave.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.elitewave.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=elitewave.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/elitewave.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/elitewave.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 17:36:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, elitewave.live, poses as a legitimate decentralized finance platform to deceive users into connecting wallets or submitting credentials. Analysis indicates it mimics Aave's branding, a well-known DeFi protocol, to trick victims into authorizing malicious transactions or revealing sensitive account details. The site displays the page title 'Elite Wave,' which does not match Aave's official branding, serving as an immediate red flag for users familiar with the genuine platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on January 11, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 45.84.204.152. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides encryption but does not validate legitimacy. Security vendor detections on VirusTotal show 3 out of 95 engines flagging the domain as malicious, confirming its association with phishing infrastructure. The domain remains active, increasing the risk of exposure to potential victims. If you visited elitewave.live or interacted with its content, immediately revoke any wallet connections or permissions granted to the site. Check for unauthorized transactions in connected wallets and review account activity on the official Aave platform. Change passwords or credentials if they were entered on the site, and monitor financial accounts for suspicious activity. Report the domain to security teams at Aave and consider submitting it to additional threat intelligence platforms to aid in takedown efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-F3E1AD Favicon MD5: 8a47a934f526ee0143fc97352ff68c28 TLS cert SHA-256: 5c03619c2e85818d6ff4863449075b8a3b889f413d4b6320734d7e634dcf9849 ## 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/elitewave.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=elitewave.live 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.
