This domain, vivek[.]howtowpguide[.]info, was identified as a high-risk phishing site designed to impersonate legitimate web hosting control panels or login portals. Visitors encountering this site would likely be presented with fraudulent login forms requesting credentials for hosting accounts, domain management, or content management systems. Such credentials, once entered, are harvested by threat actors for unauthorized access, account takeovers, or further malicious activities such as deploying malware, sending spam, or exfiltrating sensitive data. The generic nature of the phishing page suggests it may be part of a broader campaign targeting users of popular web hosting services or open-source platforms like WordPress. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on June 16, 2026, through the registrar Namecheap, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious domains due to its accessibility and privacy features. At the time of assessment, the domain resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and was flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate to high confidence in its malicious classification. The absence of an SSL certificate further suggests a lack of basic security measures, a red flag for phishing infrastructure. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and was proactively taken offline, though its prior activity may have exposed users to credential theft or other compromises. Users who visited vivek[.]howtowpguide[.]info or entered any information on the site should assume their credentials have been compromised. Immediate steps include changing passwords for any accounts accessed from the same device or network, particularly those related to web hosting, domain registrars, or content management systems. Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access. Monitor accounts for suspicious activity, such as unauthorized logins, changes to settings, or unexpected outbound communications. If financial or personally identifiable information was entered, consider reporting the incident to relevant authorities and credit monitoring services. Finally, scan the device used to access the site for malware, as phishing pages may redirect to or host additional malicious payloads.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with vivek.howtowpguide.info — 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
vivek.howtowpguide.info) - 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 — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
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 — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- 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
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
