ff-exchange[.]cyou

Analysis of ff-exchange.cyou, observed as offline at the time of the July 23 2026 assessment, shows infrastructure consistent with a counterfeit cryptocurrency exchange targeting users of the Aave platform. The domain was registered on October 10 2025 through Porkbun LLC and is served from the IP address 62.60.226.213, which belongs to AS214351 FEMO IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED located in Germany. The authoritative name servers are curitiba.ns.porkbun.com, fortaleza.ns.porkbun.com, maceio.ns.porkbun.com, and salvador.ns.porkbun.com, all of which are standard Porkbun services. No TLS certificate is present, indicating that the site operated over plain HTTP, which further reduces trust.

The page title returned by the server reads “FixedFloat | Instant cryptocurrency exchange,” confirming the intent to masquerade as a legitimate exchange service. VirusTotal records indicate that 15 of 95 scanned security vendors flagged the domain, demonstrating a moderate level of detection across independent scanners. Reputation services assign extremely low scores: Scamadviser rates the site 1 / 100 and Gridinsoft rates it 0 / 100, reflecting the consensus that the domain is malicious. The domain appears on a single public blocklist and has been specifically blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, reinforcing its classification as a phishing or scam vector.

The combination of a brand‑impersonation claim (Aave), a fake exchange narrative, and the absence of encryption suggests the site was designed to harvest credentials or funds from unsuspecting cryptocurrency users. While the offline status prevents active probing, defenders should continue to monitor the domain’s IP and associated name servers for potential re‑use, add the IP address 62.60.226.213 and the domain ff‑exchange.cyou to web‑filter and intrusion‑prevention rules, and ensure that endpoint security solutions are updated to include the 15 vendor detections reported by VirusTotal.
