# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 154693-coinbase.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-02 13:03:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/154693-coinbase.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Google Safebrowsing, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: margaret.ns.cloudflare.com, oswald.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-01 Expires: 2027-07-01 HTTP response: 444 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 46d78a86b31784a404aa7d899631bef6eb9f73f582977ff9b44bfb009f0427d3 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 18:34:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-02 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-02 00:02:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1e86-751c-734d-8f8c-eca891cb7460/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/154693-coinbase.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.154693-coinbase.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=154693-coinbase.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/154693-coinbase.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/154693-coinbase.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 19:24:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain 154693-coinbase.com is identified as a high-risk threat due to brand impersonation, specifically targeting Coinbase. The threat type is categorized as 'brand_impersonation', indicating that this domain is likely used to deceive users into believing it is affiliated with the legitimate Coinbase platform. There is no specific drainer kit mentioned in the intelligence, but the implication is that this domain could be part of a phishing campaign designed to harvest user credentials or other sensitive information. Technical indicators provide a deeper insight into the potential threat posed by this domain. According to VirusTotal, 3 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious. The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and it resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. Notably, the domain was created on July 01, 2026, which suggests it is relatively new and potentially designed for short-term malicious activity. Google Safe Browsing has flagged this domain for 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING', further indicating its use in deceptive practices. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may be a tactic to gain user trust. Currently, the domain remains active, posing an ongoing risk to users who might mistakenly interact with it under the impression it is legitimate. It is essential for users and security teams to block this domain at the network level and remain vigilant against phishing attempts. The presence of only 3/95 security vendor detections suggests it might evade some security measures, increasing the risk of successful exploitation. Continuous monitoring and updating of security tools are recommended to mitigate potential threats from domains of this nature. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 46d78a86b31784a404aa7d899631bef6eb9f73f582977ff9b44bfb009f0427d3 ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/154693-coinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=154693-coinbase.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
