aave[.]bet

The domain aave.bet was observed targeting the Aave brand and is classified as a crypto‑related scam. Infrastructure analysis shows the site was served through Cloudflare, utilizing HTTP/3, and resolved to the IP address 172.67.130.240, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. The domain’s SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 umbrella, indicating a valid TLS layer despite the malicious intent. DNS resolution is handled by the Cloudflare authoritative nameservers leonidas.ns.cloudflare.com and wren.ns.cloudflare.com, and the registration record lists Cloudflare, Inc. as the registrar.

The page title returned by the server was "Just a moment...", a generic placeholder that provides no further context about the site’s content. Scamadviser assigned a trust score of 1 out of 100, reflecting extreme suspicion, while AlienVault OTX listed the domain in a single threat‑intelligence pulse. Two of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, and it appears on at least one public blocklist, with PhishDestroy confirming a block. The site’s current operational status is offline, but the historical footprint remains relevant for defensive controls.

Defenders should ensure that any outbound or inbound traffic to aave.bet is denied at the network perimeter, add the domain to URL filtering and threat‑intel feeds, and monitor related Cloudflare IP ranges for potential resurgence. Continuous verification against VirusTotal, OTX, and emerging blocklists is advised to catch any re‑registration attempts. Given the low Scamadviser score, the presence on a blocklist, and the brand impersonation, the domain should be treated as a high‑confidence indicator of a crypto scam targeting Aave users.
