rewards[.]solwave[.]cc

PhishDestroy identifies rewards.solwave.cc as an elevated-risk domain engaged in active brand impersonation targeting Aave users. This domain mimics official Aave reward portals to deceive visitors into connecting crypto wallets and authorizing malicious transactions. The threat involves crypto drainer functionality designed to exfiltrate digital assets under the guise of legitimate Aave reward distributions. Given the domain’s active status and impersonation tactics, users risk unknowingly approving malicious transactions that drain wallets of supported tokens. This domain was flagged with 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendor detections, indicating limited but concerning recognition of malicious activity. It was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolving to IP address 104.21.61.163. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate. The domain was created on March 26, 2026, indicating a very recent registration, likely intended to exploit current market attention or announcements related to Aave. No blocklist entries were publicly available at the time of assessment, but the low detection count and fresh registration timeline elevate the risk of undetected malicious behavior. Mitigation against this brand impersonation threat requires immediate user vigilance and proactive defense measures. Users should avoid interacting with any links from unsolicited emails, social media posts, or advertisements referencing Aave rewards through rewards.solwave.cc. Always navigate to official Aave platforms via verified domains (aave.com) and verify URLs before entering credentials or connecting wallets. Organizations and users are advised to block the domain at the network level and update threat intelligence feeds using the IP address 104.21.61.163 and domain rewards.solwave.cc. Report this domain to Aave’s official security channels and relevant threat intelligence platforms to enhance collective defense.
