No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-23 16:14:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 19:50:04 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dba78-e84d-77ca-89db-03826cd6bddd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-23 16:15:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io as an active brand impersonation site currently impersonating the global cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin. The infrastructure is classified as an elevated-risk threat with confirmed malicious intent targeting users through deceptive replication of KuCoin’s brand assets and support interfaces. This domain has been assessed as active and remains accessible to visitors, posing imminent danger to individuals seeking legitimate customer support or login portals. This domain was flagged by 20 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and resolves to IP address 104.18.36.248. The domain is hosted on Webflow and secured with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which does not indicate legitimacy given the malicious content. Security telemetry indicates this infrastructure is part of a broader wave of KuCoin impersonation campaigns observed since early 2024, often leveraging typosquatting and lookalike branding to harvest credentials and initiate crypto drainage via fake withdrawal pages. The current status of auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io is active and operational. PhishDestroy strongly recommends immediate network and user-level defensive actions: block the domain and IP (104.18.36.248) at the firewall and DNS level, update threat intelligence feeds, and issue advisories to users advising against interaction. Organizations should also monitor endpoints for signs of credential compromise or crypto wallet access. This domain exemplifies the sophistication of modern crypto drainers and reinforces the need for continuous monitoring and user security awareness training focused on brand impersonation and support scams. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 20/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 93e027afcac0d648c068444f8944526b TLS cert SHA-256: 7a69dbcd62ed8b1fd312c31d15eac89dd681ec97a720d4fee29acafa644c63a9 ## 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/auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=auth--kucoin-helpp.webflow.io 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.
