The domain governance-velo.finance was observed hosting a crypto‑drainer operation that masquerades as the legitimate Velodrome Finance service, as indicated by the page title “Velodrome Finance”. Automated analysis at VirusTotal recorded 12 detections out of 95 scanned vendors, confirming that multiple security engines classify the site as malicious. Google Safe Browsing also flags the domain for social‑engineering behaviour, and PhishDestroy lists it as blocked, reinforcing its reputation as a phishing‑related indicator. Network resolution points to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 operated by Cloudflare, Inc., and the domain is registered through Cloudflare with the authoritative nameservers ace.ns.cloudflare.com and eloise.ns.cloudflare.com.
No TLS certificate was presented during connection attempts, meaning the site was served over plain HTTP, which further reduces its legitimacy and hampers confidentiality. The infrastructure is associated with the “Angel Drainer” toolkit, a known component for siphoning cryptocurrency assets, and the overall campaign is categorized as a crypto‑scam. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, and the domain appears on a single external blocklist, indicating limited but existing community awareness. As of the reporting date the site is taken offline, which may be temporary or part of takedown efforts.
Uncertainty remains regarding the exact time frame of operation, the volume of funds targeted, and whether additional infrastructure shares the same IP or naming patterns. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and proxy layers, add the IP address 188.114.96.3 to network‑level deny lists, and monitor for any further domains resolved to the same Cloudflare nameservers that reference Velodrome Finance or the Angel Drainer kit.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
This timeline displays historical security and status checkpoints observed by the PhishDestroy automated monitoring network. It records domain lifecycle updates, scanner changes, and threat telemetry over time.
12 recorded events. These records describe collected evidence, outgoing notifications and publication; they do not confirm a complete investigation or a takedown.

If credentials were compromised, report immediately. Do not engage with recovery scammers.
If a wallet, seed phrase, or account was exposed, report the incident immediately. Revoke approvals and move remaining assets to a new wallet created on a trusted device.
Beware of recovery scammers! Recovery scammers may pose as investigators, lawyers, or tracing services. Do not pay upfront fees or disclose credentials. Guaranteed crypto recovery is a fraud indicator. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
Your crypto exchange — notify its fraud team immediately; it may be able to preserve records or restrict funds held on its platform
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
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 Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). 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 PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
