Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain vantageagents.app as an active crypto drainer impersonating Vantage AI, a platform known for AI research agents focused on market intelligence. The fraudulent site promises AI-powered tools while covertly siphoning cryptocurrency from unsuspecting users. Security researchers have confirmed this domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and operates with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy on April 22, 2026, and currently shows zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and remains active despite initial suspicious activity reports. The deceptive page title, 'Vantage — AI Research Agents for Market Intelligence,' is designed to mislead users searching for legitimate AI market intelligence platforms. Intelligence indicates this threat is still under investigation but continues to operate without widespread blocklist coverage. If you have visited vantageagents.app, cease all cryptocurrency transactions immediately and disconnect any wallets or accounts that may have been exposed. Do not interact further with the site, as it likely contains malicious scripts designed to drain funds. Clear your browser cache and run a full antivirus scan to remove any potential malware. Report the domain to your security team or relevant authorities to help prevent further victims. Stay vigilant for unusual transactions or unauthorized access to your financial accounts in the coming days. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-EA078B Favicon MD5: 31763d79ab8c714e58820121e17baae8 TLS cert SHA-256: 804e87bf83c5de30751e0ece4f6a11625a3db769cfca161dd58eb879da68d3e2 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/vantageagents.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=vantageagents.app Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
