This report assesses eth-coine.com, a domain registered on July 28, 2026, exactly three days before this assessment on July 31, 2026. The domain is registered through Internet Domain Service BS Corp, a registrar commonly associated with low-cost, privacy-oriented registrations. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP address 104.21.38.104 and uses Cloudflare nameservers, betty.ns.cloudflare.com and plato.ns.cloudflare.com, which provides content delivery and proxy services that can obscure the origin server. The domain is flagged on two security blocklists and is specifically blocked by PhishDestroy and SEAL, indicating independent security researchers have already identified it as a threat.
VirusTotal scanned the domain with 91 vendors, none of which currently flag it as malicious; this lack of detection is not evidence of safety and often occurs with newly registered domains that have not yet been widely reported. The nature of the hosted content has not been analyzed at this time, and no specific brand or scam category can be confirmed from the available data; the domain name contains the string 'eth-coine,' which may suggest an attempt to impersonate a cryptocurrency-related service, but this is speculative and not based on observed content. Defenders should treat eth-coine.com as a likely phishing or scam domain due to its age, blocklist status, and registrar profile. Recommended actions include blocking the domain at the network level, monitoring for changes in DNS or hosting, and verifying any users who may have interacted with it.
If users provided credentials or personal information, those should be considered compromised. Further investigation should include fetching the webpage content, reviewing SSL certificate issuance, and checking passive DNS for related domains, as the underlying server may host multiple malicious sites. The domain remains active at the time of writing.
