Redacted domain dossier, minus the house style
We are far too editorially nervous to tell you whether the upstream publisher is correct. We can, however, preserve the dossier, keep the indicators readable, and route every external exit through the source gate.
[REDACTED] is an active brand impersonation scam targeting Aave users. The domain leverages the trusted Aave brand to deceive victims into connecting wallets and signing malicious transactions, resulting in direct cryptocurrency theft. Based on seed 40a44e, this site has not been flagged on any VirusTotal scanners, indicating a high potential for undetected abuse. The domain resolves to IP 104.26.2.52 under IANA #1910 hosting and operates with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, giving it deceptive legitimacy. Registered on December 08, 2018, this long-standing domain has likely been repurposed for malicious use, increasing the risk of exposure to unsuspecting users.
This domain exhibits clear indicators of malicious intent. It has 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal scanners as of seed 40a44e, indicating a lack of recognition by automated security tools. The domain is registered through [REDACTED], which is commonly used by threat actors to obfuscate hosting infrastructure. Its SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, further enhances its perceived credibility. The domain resolves to IP 104.26.2.52, which has been linked to multiple fraudulent activities in threat intelligence databases, though not yet widely blocked. The creation date of December 08, 2018, suggests the domain may have been dormant before recent activation for this campaign. Despite its age, it remains unflagged, posing a significant risk to users, particularly those involved in decentralized finance (DeFi) and cryptocurrency transactions.
To mitigate the threat posed by [REDACTED], users should immediately block access to the domain at the network level and avoid any interaction with its content. Cryptocurrency holders, especially Aave users, should verify all third-party sites via official channels before connecting wallets or signing transactions. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all financial accounts and use hardware wallets for added security. Report the domain to relevant blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and OpenPhish to help protect the broader community. Additionally, monitor wallet transactions for unauthorized activity and revoke suspicious smart contract approvals using tools like Revoke.cash. Organizations should deploy DNS filtering to block resolution to the malicious IP (104.26.2.52) and inspect all outbound traffic to this destination. Given the lack of detection by security tools, manual vigilance and proactive threat intelligence sharing are critical to preventing successful exploitation.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with [REDACTED] — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the possibly phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
[REDACTED]) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact NASDAQ:COIN/LEI:5493004F7TI6QBM4WX72/FinCEN MSB #31000023456789 support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via [REDACTED]/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated possibly phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet ([REDACTED], [REDACTED]). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on THE ENABLERS REGISTRY before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
