Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Registered: 2026-05-26 Expires: 2027-05-26 HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-05-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-10 14:37:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-10 14:34:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 10:22:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/76d29b46-efa2-407f-a142-4bd73d75bb61 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/265927coinbase.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.265927coinbase.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=265927coinbase.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/265927coinbase.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/265927coinbase.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:23:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain 265927coinbase.com poses a significant threat by impersonating the well-known cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. This domain is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate Coinbase service, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information such as login credentials, personal data, and financial details. The risk level associated with this domain is high, as it can result in significant financial loss and identity theft. Analysis indicates that 265927coinbase.com has been flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, highlighting its malicious intent. The domain appears in 5 security blocklists, further corroborating its involvement in harmful activities. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is registered with a registrar and was created on a specific date, which is not provided in the current intelligence. Additionally, the domain utilizes Cloudflare for DNS management and supports HTTP/3, which can mask its true origin and enhance its deceptive capabilities. Google Safe Browsing has also flagged the domain for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, indicating that it is actively being used to trick users into divulging sensitive information. If users have visited 265927coinbase.com, they are advised to immediately change their Coinbase login credentials and monitor their accounts for any unauthorized activity. It is also recommended to run a comprehensive security scan on any devices used to access the site to ensure that no malware has been installed. Users should report the incident to Coinbase's support team and consider enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security to their accounts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 38ed023603bba5b41d691d29829dcd11 ## 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 (operator 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/265927coinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=265927coinbase.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
