# PhishDestroy threat dossier — 97ee7.catex.at ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 22:15:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/97ee7.catex.at/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 31.59.121.53 (FR, Paris) ASN: ASAS56971 AS56971 CGI GLOBAL LIMITED, HK Hosting org: AS56971 AS56971 Cloud Registrar: REGISTRAR_NOT_FOUND Nameservers: a.dnspod.com, b.dnspod.com, c.dnspod.com Page title: Coinbase Card ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8fc34b7ec9b22c48a4328b993d0037cdbb96496667e1fc112224ee1056f1868c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - catex.at ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-24 12:32:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 10:33:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 00:15:12 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-24 18:19:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ef92e-7599-7753-a7ce-7cf4078f9b65/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5cd3ab8e-c4e9-4c14-8d14-6b7594af6a2d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/97ee7.catex.at crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.97ee7.catex.at Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=97ee7.catex.at AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/97ee7.catex.at URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/97ee7.catex.at/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:58:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, identified as 97ee7.catex.at, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the threat type is credential harvesting, specifically mimicking the Coinbase Card login interface to deceive users into submitting sensitive account information. The page title observed, 'Coinbase Card,' aligns with the targeted brand’s legitimate services, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering attacks. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 31.59.121.53, geolocated in France under AS56971 (Cloud). The domain is associated with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (R13), which, while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. VirusTotal detection metrics report 18 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on one security blocklist, and its registrar details remain undisclosed in public records. No explicit creation date is available, but the use of a subdomain under catex.at suggests potential compromise or abuse of a legitimate domain. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, likely following reports and automated takedown procedures. Despite its current inactive status, the risk level remains elevated due to the potential for re-emergence under alternative infrastructure or domains. Users who may have interacted with the domain are advised to reset credentials immediately, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor accounts for unauthorized activity. Organizations are recommended to update blocklists with the provided indicators of compromise to prevent future exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-228135 Favicon MD5: 1ca82eec639a786fc6356337e0f7be77 TLS cert SHA-256: 8fc34b7ec9b22c48a4328b993d0037cdbb96496667e1fc112224ee1056f1868c ## 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/97ee7.catex.at/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=97ee7.catex.at 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.
