Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies aegoz-coinbase.com as a brand impersonation domain targeting Coinbase users. Although the risk level is classified as low, this site attempts to deceive visitors by imitating Coinbase's branding, which could potentially lead to credential theft or other fraudulent activity. Users should remain cautious as even low-risk sites can escalate or be part of broader scams. aegoz-coinbase.com was registered recently in February 2026 and currently resolves to the IP address 195.179.239.174. The domain is flagged on two security blocklists and is detected by 2 out of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting some level of suspicion but not widespread consensus. The site displays a misleading page titled "Checking Connection - Please Wait," which is a common tactic to lull users into a false sense of security. Users are advised not to enter any personal or financial information on aegoz-coinbase.com. Always verify the URL carefully when accessing financial services like Coinbase and use official apps or websites. If you suspect you have encountered this domain during a login attempt, change your passwords immediately and monitor your accounts for any unusual activity. Reporting such domains to cybersecurity authorities can help mitigate risks for the broader user community. ## 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/aegoz-coinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aegoz-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.
