Analysis of cryptoguard.finance indicates this domain was actively hosting phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users before being taken offline. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3, part of Cloudflare's network (AS13335). Nameservers earl.ns.cloudflare.com and nataly.ns.cloudflare.com were in use, and the site employed Cloudflare's CDN with HTTP/3 support. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 intermediate.
At the time of assessment on July 23, 2026, the domain returned a 522 connection timeout error, suggesting either deliberate takedown or infrastructure failure. Prior to going offline, the page title displayed 'cryptoguard.finance | 522: Connection timed out,' which does not reveal specific content but aligns with patterns seen in compromised or hastily abandoned phishing sites. Two of 93 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious, and it appeared on one security blocklist, corroborating its classification as phishing-related. No specific cryptocurrency brand or exchange was named in available metadata, so the exact target remains unconfirmed.
However, the domain name itself suggests an attempt to deceive users seeking wallet protection or security services. Defenders should treat this domain as part of a broader phishing campaign, particularly in environments where cryptocurrency transactions occur. Network-level blocking of 188.114.97.3 and monitoring for related domains using the same registrar or Cloudflare nameservers is recommended. Given its current offline status, further forensic analysis may require historical DNS or web content archives.

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.

我应该为报告收集哪些信息？
联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
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 phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
