aaveclassic[.]com

On July 22, 2026, the domain aaveclassic.com was identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Aave. The domain was registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu on July 23, 2025. Analysis indicates that the site impersonates Aave and uses the page title 'Aave Classic'. This domain is flagged by one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating a high level of risk.

The Scamadviser trust score of 31/100 further supports the elevated risk level. The SSL certificate for the domain is issued by Cloudflare TLS Issuing ECC CA 1, which is a common practice for both legitimate and malicious sites but does not inherently indicate safety. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.66.167.205, located in the United States and associated with Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335). As of the report date, the domain is currently offline, which may be a result of takedown efforts or a temporary suspension by the hosting provider.

Defenders should remain vigilant and monitor this domain for any signs of reactivation. Given the high risk and brand impersonation nature of the threat, it is recommended to block access to this domain and educate users about the dangers of visiting untrusted sites that mimic legitimate financial services. The exact content and structure of the site have not been analyzed, but the high risk scores and presence on a security blocklist suggest that the domain was likely used for a crypto scam. Defenders should also consider reporting the domain to Aave and relevant authorities for further action.
