# PhishDestroy threat dossier — excellent.savescale.work ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 15:30:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/excellent.savescale.work/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.18.6.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: fish.ns.cloudflare.com, owen.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-11 Expires: 2027-05-11 Page title: Attention Required! | Cloudflare HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a9501346991b3a578f9624c85fdc777506b3d45fe90919c0905283aaf6cdba54 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - savescale.work ## 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: 2026-07-08 08:17:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 12:02:09 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f405e-7337-731d-8a6e-2943c30179b8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/excellent.savescale.work crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.excellent.savescale.work Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=excellent.savescale.work AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/excellent.savescale.work URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/excellent.savescale.work/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 08:24:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain excellent.savescale.work is classified under brand_impersonation and remains active. It impersonates the Aave brand through deceptive web infrastructure designed to mimic legitimate services. Current status confirms ongoing operation with no remediation observed. Analysis indicates the domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It is registered through NameCheap, Inc., resolves to IP 172.67.176.169, and was created on May 11, 2026. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist and is blocked by PhishDestroy. Infrastructure analysis reveals deployment of Cloudflare, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and HTTP/3. SSL certificate issuance is handled by Let's Encrypt. No trust scores are assigned and the domain shows zero vendor detections to date. The domain maintains active status. Concrete recommendations include blocking all traffic to excellent.savescale.work at network perimeters, avoiding any interaction with associated URLs or forms, and cross-referencing user reports against known Aave domains. Organizations should monitor DNS logs for resolutions to 172.67.176.169 and update threat intelligence feeds with the observed indicators including registration details and blocklist presence. Regular scans of certificate transparency logs for similar impersonation patterns are advised to limit exposure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: a9501346991b3a578f9624c85fdc777506b3d45fe90919c0905283aaf6cdba54 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/excellent.savescale.work/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=excellent.savescale.work 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
