aave[.]stake-3v[.]it[.]com

Analysis of the domain aave.stake-3v.it.com indicates it was actively impersonating the Aave decentralized finance platform, as evidenced by the page title 'Aave - Largest DeFi Platform | Decentralized Finance Solutions' and the explicit classification as a crypto scam. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and is currently offline as of the report date. Infrastructure analysis reveals it resolved to the IP address 104.21.112.1, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States.

The SSL certificate was issued by WE1, a provider commonly used for both legitimate and malicious domains. While 93 security vendors scanned the domain via VirusTotal, none currently flag it as malicious; however, the absence of detections does not confirm safety. The domain appears on one security blocklist and was blocked by PhishDestroy, suggesting prior malicious activity.

Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk for Aave brand impersonation, particularly given its association with crypto-related fraud. No further details about the exact content or functionality of the site are available, as the page is offline and no archived captures or additional technical indicators have been provided. Organizations should monitor for re-activation, update blocklists, and alert users about potential phishing attempts leveraging this domain or similar variations targeting Aave.
