chrome-extension-base[.]created[.]app

Analysis of the domain chrome-extension-base.created.app indicates it was actively impersonating Coinbase as part of a cryptocurrency scam. The domain was registered on July 12, 2023, through Tucows Domains Inc. and resolved to the IP address 216.150.16.193, hosted on Amazon.com, Inc. infrastructure (AS16509) in the United States. The page title, 'Coinbase Wallet Extension - Secure Crypto Wallet for Web3 | Download Now,' explicitly targeted Coinbase users by mimicking the branding of its wallet extension, a tactic consistent with crypto-related fraud. The domain was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering and appeared on at least one security blocklist, including PhishDestroy.

Eleven out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detected the domain as malicious. SSL certification was provided by Let's Encrypt (R13), and the domain utilized Vercel nameservers (ns1.vercel-dns.com, ns2.vercel-dns.com) alongside HSTS technology. As of July 23, 2026, the domain returns an HTTP 404 status, indicating it has been taken offline, though residual DNS records may persist. Defenders should treat this domain as confirmed malicious infrastructure.

While the site is no longer active, historical DNS and WHOIS records should be preserved for forensic analysis. Organizations are advised to block the domain and its resolved IP at the network level and monitor for any reactivation attempts. Given the use of Vercel hosting, similar abuse patterns may emerge on other Vercel-deployed domains impersonating cryptocurrency services. No further content analysis is available, as the site is offline and no archived captures were referenced in the provided intelligence.
