vtcgroup[.]org

Analysis of vtcgroup.org confirms its classification as a wallet seed phishing domain targeting Aave users. The domain was registered on July 29, 2025, through NameCheap, Inc., and was taken offline by the time of this report (July 22, 2026). Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to 172.67.147.114, an IP address hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335) in the United States, with nameservers julian.ns.cloudflare.com and suzanne.ns.cloudflare.com. No SSL certificate was detected, increasing the risk of interception or manipulation of user data. The page title 'VTCGROUP' provides limited insight into the exact content, but the scam type is explicitly identified as wallet/seed phishing, aligning with the brand target 'aave' noted in threat intelligence sources.

The domain appears in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, indicating prior detection by security researchers. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, reflecting high confidence in its malicious nature. One of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, though the absence of broader detections does not diminish the confirmed phishing classification. The domain was also blocked by PhishDestroy and appears on at least one security blocklist.

Defenders should treat vtcgroup.org as a confirmed phishing threat. Network-level blocking of the domain and its associated IP (172.67.147.114) is recommended. Organizations targeting Aave users should prioritize user education about seed phrase security and monitor for similar domains registered through NameCheap or leveraging Cloudflare infrastructure. Given the domain's current offline status, further analysis of its operational tactics is not possible, but historical indicators remain actionable for retrospective detection.
