# PhishDestroy threat dossier — blogcoinbase.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 05:49:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/blogcoinbase.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 81/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, CRDF, Fortinet, Gridinsoft AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Unstoppable Domains Inc. Nameservers: ["chuck.ns.cloudflare.com", "melinda.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-05-11 Expires: 2027-05-11 Page title: Blogcoinbase — Crypto & Web3 Insights ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 50d9a96da1568cdecedb8f90908f2216a87761bdb2d9546c19b31c9cf879ceb3 ## 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: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-23 17:30:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 06:19:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-28 00:19:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:29:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Blogcoinbase.com is a phishing domain designed to impersonate Coinbase, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. The domain is flagged as malicious by 4 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors, indicating its recognized threat level. Despite its offline status, it has been included in public blocklists by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, highlighting the domain's potential risk during its active period. The domain was registered through Unstoppable Domains Inc. and hosted on a CloudFlare IP address located in Canada. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, adding a layer of perceived legitimacy to the site. The page title, "Blogcoinbase — Crypto & Web3 Insights," suggests it was likely used to deceive users into believing they were accessing legitimate Coinbase content. Phishing domains like blogcoinbase.com exploit the trust users place in well-known brands. By mimicking Coinbase, the site aimed to harvest sensitive user information, such as login credentials and financial details. The domain's presence in multiple blocklists underscores the importance of early detection and swift action to mitigate potential damage. The domain's offline status now reduces its threat, but its initial activity serves as a reminder of the ongoing risks posed by phishing operations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: d2c3656247c1e212fc7af356246f8632 TLS cert SHA-256: 50d9a96da1568cdecedb8f90908f2216a87761bdb2d9546c19b31c9cf879ceb3 ## 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/blogcoinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=blogcoinbase.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.
