On Wednesday, AAVE said it had created the first decentralized finance (DEFI) protocol to deposit $ 60 billion in net deposits in 14 networks. Account for token terminal data, Aave’s net deposits are three times more than $ 18 billion in August 2024 in August 2024.
A day later, on Thursday, the Blockchain Investigation Firm AAVE (AAVE) alerts the packed Crypto community for an attack attacks targeting investors. Scammers posted physical links for fake Aave investment platforms through Google Ads service.
Fishing scam spreads through advertisements
Once an unheard crypto investor clicks on the link, the website will motivate them to connect their crypto walllets with their services.
Adding a wallet to the phishing website will allow scammers to reach and move all the funds stored in the wall. Such transactions are often irreversible and can result in permanent loss of money.
While the loss has not been confirmed by the ongoing attack, the fishing effort is more, as it is promoted through Google advertising services.

Stop loss of money in fishing scam
Physicing scams trick users, such as private keys, seed phrases or login credit, reliable or known services.
Investors are advised to double-check the website URL before talking, to deposit funds and add wallets. In case of an agreement, specific steps should be taken to help investors to reduce losses.
Crypto investors should be immediately in the transfer fund for a safe one from the compromised wallet. They should also reach their service provider through official channels and cancel the approval of any wallet through services.
Additionally, the compromised wallets must be removed to store or deposit funds, as scammers will prefer voltage and try to get out any remaining funds. Users should also try to disconnect their walls with physical websites.
Cointelegraph included Aave for comment and was alerted for ongoing fishing efforts.
