Evidence Summary

CRITICAL
Score
100/100

The domain cryptogold.exchange hosted a fraudulent website branded as "CryptoGold.Exchange," classified as a Fake Exchange scam. This site posed as a cryptocurrency trading platform to deceive users into depositing funds, which would likely be stolen. The threat is financial loss for victims who trust the fraudulent exchange.

Technical analysis confirms the site's malicious nature. VirusTotal flagged it with 6 out of 95 security vendors, including ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, and ESET. The domain was created on 2026-02-21 and registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. It resolved to IP address 5.189.142.178, located in France and hosted by AS51167 Contabo GmbH. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (serial E7), and nameservers were ns52.domaincontrol.com and ns51.domaincontrol.com.

The site is currently offline and non-functional. Risk level is high based on low trust scores of 48/100 from GridinSoft and 31/100 from ScamAdviser, combined with its confirmed malicious detections and recent creation date. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain.
