# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bd163.biz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-17 23:28:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bd163.biz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 202.79.173.214 (KR, Anyang-si) ASN: AS152194 CTG Server Limited Hosting org: Rackip Consultancy Pte. LTD Registrar: Chengdu west dimension digital technology Co., LTD Nameservers: ns1.myhostadmin.net, ns2.myhostadmin.net Registered: 2026-01-25 Expires: 2027-01-25 Page title: Coinbase - 全球领先秒合约交易平台 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 036be7611cc4061d87ecde5f96039c06a29ff060c1efdb48175a85e260d18880 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - a.coinbase-chinaa.top ## 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: 2026-01-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 11:19:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 09:22:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-18 01:16:19 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 06:47:11 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebb1f-f81b-742a-93f6-27a071bb647e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/257b78e5-3dcc-4ca7-a22a-bdd178894cfe Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bd163.biz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bd163.biz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bd163.biz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bd163.biz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bd163.biz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:21:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] bd163.biz Safety Check — Brand Impersonation Detected The domain bd163.biz is flagged for brand impersonation, specifically targeting the cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. Analysis indicates that this domain was likely used to trick users into believing they were interacting with a legitimate Coinbase service, potentially leading to the theft of login credentials or other sensitive information. Infrastructure analysis reveals that bd163.biz has been flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant level of suspicion. The domain is registered through Chengdu West Dimension Digital Technology Co., LTD, and resolves to the IP address 202.79.173.214. The domain was created on January 25, 2026, and currently has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, which is the lowest possible score. Additionally, the domain appears on 4 security blocklists, further corroborating its malicious nature. The domain is currently offline and has been blocked by several security tools, including MetaMask, PhishDestroy, SEAL, and OISD. Despite its current offline status, the domain remains a high-risk threat due to its previous use in brand impersonation. Organizations and users are advised to remain vigilant and ensure that any links or communications purportedly from Coinbase are verified through official channels to prevent potential future attacks. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260612-D236F6 TLS cert SHA-256: 036be7611cc4061d87ecde5f96039c06a29ff060c1efdb48175a85e260d18880 ## 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/bd163.biz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bd163.biz 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.
