No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 11:09:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-12 09:13:16 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-27 12:40:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebb16-be54-762f-a40b-35568833e6c3/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/472858a4-31c7-4857-9f58-23c5dd2e1f4f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/underwave.digital crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.underwave.digital Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=underwave.digital AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/underwave.digital URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/underwave.digital/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 17:34:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] underwave.digital Aave Impersonation Scam Underwave.digital, a domain impersonating the cryptocurrency platform Aave, shows a significant threat profile with 20 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors marking it as malicious. Despite its current offline status, the domain previously posed a substantial risk by attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information under the guise of a legitimate Aave interaction. The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc and hosted on IP address 188.114.96.3, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The scam was designed to exploit the trust users place in Aave, a well-known brand in the cryptocurrency space. The phishing operation likely aimed to harvest credentials or financial information from unsuspecting users. PhishDestroy's detection pipeline identified underwave.digital on the same day it was created, highlighting the efficiency of early detection systems in catching threats before they propagate widely. The domain's platform risk score of 78 out of 100 further underscores its potential danger. Although the site is now offline, its initial activity serves as a reminder of the persistent threat posed by phishing domains and the importance of timely detection and response. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260612-252956 TLS cert SHA-256: affb629686a19d7ba8398b5fe2334f85eae8f061591e4af014aed34f1af73e97 ## 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/underwave.digital/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=underwave.digital 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.
