ff-excharge[.]sbs

This domain, ff-excharge.sbs, is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation site specifically targeting Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. The domain is currently offline, but prior analysis confirms its malicious intent to deceive users by mimicking legitimate cryptocurrency exchange services. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation, with no evidence of credential theft or crypto drainer functionality at this stage, though such capabilities cannot be ruled out in prior iterations. Infrastructure analysis reveals critical indicators of compromise. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. It resolved to the IP address 62.60.226.213, hosted under AS214351 (FEMO IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED) in Germany. Security vendors flagged the domain in 18 of 95 VirusTotal scans, and it appears on three independent security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and SEAL. The absence of an SSL certificate further undermines its legitimacy, as does the page title, which falsely presents itself as 'FixedFloat | Instant cryptocurrency exchange,' a known tactic to exploit trust in established brands. The current offline status of ff-excharge.sbs does not mitigate its risk profile, as threat actors frequently reactivate such domains for future campaigns. Users and organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address at the network level. Security teams should monitor for related infrastructure, including domains registered through the same registrar or resolving to the same IP range. Aave users should verify all exchange-related communications through official channels and enable multi-factor authentication on all cryptocurrency accounts. Proactive threat hunting for similar impersonation domains is recommended, particularly those mimicking decentralized finance platforms.
