# PhishDestroy threat dossier — v2-aave.click ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-21 06:08:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/v2-aave.click/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Aave ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 130.12.180.128 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS202412 Omegatech LTD Hosting org: Virtualine Technologies Registrar: Dynadot, LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.dyna-ns.net", "ns2.dyna-ns.net"] Registered: 2026-05-22 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-19 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3698926f452a4e753a4d7b1af7a9feec625dc836f6563d8541b9a7add1b162ef Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.v2-aave.click ## 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: 2026-05-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-22 11:30:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-23 18:13:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:52:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain v2-aave.click has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting the Aave decentralized finance platform. This domain attempts to deceive users by mimicking legitimate Aave services, likely to steal credentials or cryptocurrency assets through a crypto drainer mechanism. The domain was registered on May 22, 2026, via Dynadot, LLC, and resolves to IP address 130.12.180.128. Security analysis reveals that 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on three security blocklists, indicating a consensus among security communities about its harmful nature. Further technical indicators include an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt with serial E7, which is commonly used by malicious sites for deceptive encryption. The domain was found in one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX, suggesting active monitoring within the cybersecurity ecosystem. Despite its recent creation, the domain has already been taken offline, which is a positive outcome for potential victims. However, the risk remains elevated due to the sophisticated impersonation of Aave's brand, which could lead to successful phishing attempts if users encounter similar domains. Current status is offline, but users should remain vigilant as attackers may register new domains with slight variations. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any interaction with v2-aave.click or similar suspicious URLs, enabling browser security features, and reporting any encountered phishing attempts to relevant authorities. Regularly checking official Aave channels for legitimate URLs can also mitigate risk. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9871e69b95beccfff5b48e42b0622f6a TLS cert SHA-256: 3698926f452a4e753a4d7b1af7a9feec625dc836f6563d8541b9a7add1b162ef ## 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/v2-aave.click/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=v2-aave.click 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.
