The domain vangold.finance resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and is geolocated in the United States. The domain is served through Cloudflare’s DNS service, using the authoritative nameservers jermaine.ns.cloudflare.com and nancy.ns.cloudflare.com. Traffic is delivered over HTTP/3 and protected by a TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 label.
Analysis of the page title, "Vangold | AI‑Powered Yield Finder", together with the listed brand target of arbitrum, indicates that the site is masquerading as a legitimate Arbitrum‑related yield service. The operational pattern matches a crypto‑drainer campaign that employs the Wallet Connect abuse kit, whereby malicious actors capture wallet connection requests and siphon funds from unsuspecting users. The threat is classified as a cryptocurrency drainer with a critical risk rating and remains active.
Threat intelligence sources corroborate the malicious intent. VirusTotal records four detections out of ninety‑five scanned security vendors, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reflecting extreme suspicion. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service. No additional public analysis of the site’s content has been published, leaving the exact user‑facing mechanisms unverified.
Defenders should treat any interaction with vangold.finance as hostile. Network controls ought to block outbound connections to the IP 188.114.96.3 and to the domain itself. Email and web filters must flag references to the site, especially communications that invoke Wallet Connect workflows or promise AI‑driven yield returns. Incident response teams should monitor for unauthorized wallet connection attempts and, if compromised, initiate immediate fund recovery procedures and notify affected users.

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.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.

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

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
