Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies 488543-coinbase.com as a high-risk crypto drainer designed to steal cryptocurrency assets by mimicking Coinbase’s case ID verification page. This fraudulent site employs social engineering tactics to trick users into divulging sensitive wallet information, potentially leading to irreversible financial losses. The domain was registered recently through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolved to the IP address 193.34.212.162. It was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering and appeared on three separate security blocklists. Additionally, VirusTotal analysis revealed multiple security vendors tagging this domain as malicious. AlienVault OTX also associates it with active threat pulses. Although currently offline, its infrastructure indicates deliberate setup for crypto theft. Users should remain vigilant and avoid clicking on links or entering any credentials on this domain. Always verify URLs carefully and access Coinbase only through official channels. If you suspect exposure to such scams, immediately secure your wallets and report suspicious activity to trusted cybersecurity platforms. Staying informed and cautious is critical to thwarting crypto-related fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260120-F90F17 Favicon SHA-256: 4eb1ef3719546885e3ead87dcceaf7b3732865b197e485cb1f8cb4fe03b383fb ## 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/488543-coinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=488543-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.
