vault-gho[.]eu[.]com

Analysis of vault-gho.eu.com, observed as an offline site on July 22, 2026, indicates a deliberate brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Aave. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through Instra Corporation Pty Ltd and resolves to the Cloudflare IP 172.67.212.36, located in the United States under ASN 13335. DNS configuration lists four CentralNic nameservers (ns1‑ns4.centralnic.net) and an MX record pointing to eu-com-wildcard-null-mx.centralnic.net with priority 0, suggesting the infrastructure is fully provisioned for email delivery. The SSL certificate in use is identified as type E5, and the page title returned by the server reads “Aave Commonweal Management - Premier Property Management Services,” a clear attempt to masquerade as an Aave‑related service.

Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, and the domain appears on a single security blocklist. VirusTotal reports that 2 of 93 scanning engines flag the site, and PhishDestroy has already blocked the domain. The campaign is classified as a Crypto Scam, aligning with the brand‑impersonation motive.

While the site is currently offline, the presence of a valid SSL certificate, Cloudflare hosting, and a fully configured mail server indicates a ready‑to‑use infrastructure that could be reactivated. Defenders should immediately add vault‑gho.eu.com and its resolved IP 172.67.212.36 to network‑level deny lists, monitor for any future DNS resolution changes, and enforce strict email filtering for messages originating from the listed MX host. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for any resurgence, and any observed traffic to the domain should be logged for forensic correlation with other Aave‑related phishing attempts.
