## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:05:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

waveexprez.com actively impersonates the Aave brand, posing a significant threat to users. It is flagged by 3 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors and is listed on 1 public blocklist, including PhishDestroy. The domain is registered with ENOM, INC. and hosted on IP 194.36.191.196 in the Netherlands by Host Sailor Ltd.

The domain's SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its free and automated nature. Despite its recent creation on June 10, 2026, waveexprez.com already shows a platform risk score of 76 out of 100, indicating a high likelihood of malicious activity. The abuse score is relatively low at 19, suggesting limited reporting or recognition of its threat potential so far.

PhishDestroy identified waveexprez.com on June 19, 2026. This early detection is crucial as phishing domains often exploit the 24-72 hour gap between registration and inclusion in antivirus databases. During this period, many users may be vulnerable to scams. The domain's active status and its specific targeting of Aave users underscore the need for awareness and caution when interacting with financial services online.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260619-7226FB
Favicon MD5:       1e66374cfc4f6b82c73aa08b3014cfdc
TLS cert SHA-256:      6c02c0489987d0ba1c79944a448aa8b9ff5916b608db644656c95583f92381e6

## 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.
