This report analyzes the domain hype.what.exchange, which is a cryptocurrency phishing site. The page title "PERP_BTC_USDC | WhatExchange" indicates it impersonated Aave, a legitimate decentralized finance protocol, to trick users into connecting wallets or entering credentials for cryptocurrency theft. The site posed a threat of credential harvesting or wallet draining, targeting users of the Aave platform.

Technical analysis reveals the site was flagged by 6 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Fortinet, and Gridinsoft. It appeared on 1 blocklist. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and created on 2024-02-17. The IP address is 216.150.16.129, located in the United States, hosted on AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt / R13. Nameservers were zita.ns.cloudflare.com and dylan.ns.cloudflare.com.

The site is currently down or offline. GridinSoft trust rating is 0/100, and the DOM risk score is 15. The risk level is moderate based on the number of detections and blocklist presence, but the site's offline status reduces immediate threat. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain if it becomes active again.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For the registrable domain what.exchange behind this subdomain, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
