Evidence Summary

CRITICAL
Evidence score
93/100

Assessment
Stored evidence for variationalprotocol.pro: VirusTotal recorded 3 detections among 91 scanners on 2026-08-12. That ratio reproduces the stored check in its original units and is not converted into another measure. MetaMask and SEAL appear as named external blocklist observations for variationalprotocol.pro. Each item in this report remains at the scope supplied by its dated source record.

Detection Evidence
VirusTotal records 3 detections among 91 scanners in the stored snapshot dated 2026-08-12. The numerator describes scanners that produced detections, while the denominator describes scanners included in that check. The reverse order would materially alter the stored result. The VirusTotal snapshot dated 2026-08-12 supplies no common rationale covering the included scanners, and this report adds none. A later VirusTotal snapshot may contain different values, so any comparison should preserve the exact ratio and date of each snapshot.

Source Context
MetaMask and SEAL are recorded as named external blocklist observations for variationalprotocol.pro in the snapshot dated 2026-08-12. The stored MetaMask and SEAL blocklist records supply names and entries, but they supply no shared method or common rationale. PhishDestroy’s catalogue also contains variationalprotocol.pro as a publisher record. That PhishDestroy record is counted separately from the MetaMask and SEAL external blocklist observations. This separation keeps the origin of every entry visible and prevents a single stored item from being counted again under another source label.

Reachability and Timeline
The record first observed variationalprotocol.pro on 2026-08-12. The MetaMask and SEAL blocklist snapshot is dated 2026-08-12 and remains a separate event in the stored timeline. The registration date is separately recorded as 2026-07-31. A URLScan reference was stored on 2026-08-12 as a dated artifact for review. Each timestamp qualifies only the adjacent observation in this timeline. Later collection results should be compared with these dated values without replacing the earlier snapshot.

Registration and Infrastructure
For variationalprotocol.pro, the registrar field records Global Domain Group LLC; this is kept as an exact source value. The source stores 104.21.7.67 as the observed address in this record. The registration date for variationalprotocol.pro is recorded as 2026-07-31. These fields preserve registration, network, and certificate context stored in this record. The report preserves each label and number as a separate source value instead of combining them into an invented aggregate. Keeping the fields separate leaves every infrastructure value traceable to the record that supplied it.

Conclusion
The variationalprotocol.pro record states that VirusTotal recorded 3 detections among 91 scanners on 2026-08-12. MetaMask and SEAL remain named blocklist observations from the snapshot dated 2026-08-12. PhishDestroy remains a separate publisher catalogue entry in the stored record. For variationalprotocol.pro, the registrar field records Global Domain Group LLC; this remains separate from the other source fields. The observed address field in this record contains 104.21.7.67. The supported conclusion is bounded to the exact stored observations for variationalprotocol.pro. Any statement beyond those source values would require additional dated material.

Recommended Actions
Avoid submitting sensitive information to variationalprotocol.pro during review. Use a known service address obtained separately from this report for any necessary access. Defenders can retain variationalprotocol.pro as an exact indicator and preserve relevant DNS, proxy, and endpoint records. Compare later VirusTotal snapshots and MetaMask and SEAL blocklist records with the dated values above instead of replacing them. Keep each later observation with its source date so changes remain visible during follow-up review. If a defensive rule is needed, keep its scope to variationalprotocol.pro. The stored record does not justify extending that rule to 104.21.7.67 or to other infrastructure records.

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.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with variationalprotocol.pro — act now.

What should I do immediately?
Urgent
  • Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
  • Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines

According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:

  • Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g., 0x5856...35985)
  • Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
  • Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including variationalprotocol.pro)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?
  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • 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
