No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-04 12:04:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-04 09:06:29 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-06 14:06:31 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019df23a-f3a3-73e0-9ae0-89ce361379be/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/60d42fb1-857f-4d03-bdcf-29a9772c2f17 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cb-invoice.shop crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cb-invoice.shop Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cb-invoice.shop AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cb-invoice.shop URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cb-invoice.shop/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-04 12:07:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cb-invoice.shop as an active Coinbase brand impersonation phishing domain designed to steal user credentials and payment details. The site mimics Coinbase’s branding with a fraudulent 'Payment Receipt' page, tricking victims into believing they’ve received a legitimate transaction confirmation. This high-risk domain is currently undetected by 95% of antivirus engines (0/95 detections on VirusTotal) despite being blocked by MetaMask, SEAL, and Google Safe Browsing for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING tactics. The domain resolves to IP 185.231.223.181 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy, though its malicious intent is confirmed by multiple security platforms. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy on seed 00c42b with concrete evidence of brand impersonation targeting Coinbase users. The domain was registered recently and is hosted on infrastructure associated with malicious activity. Security blocklists have already added this domain to their feeds, though its detection gap on VirusTotal highlights the challenge of early-stage phishing detection. The page title 'Coinbase — Payment Receipt' is a direct attempt to exploit user trust in legitimate financial service communications. If you visited cb-invoice.shop, immediately check if you entered any credentials or payment details. Do not trust unsolicited payment receipts or login prompts. Revoke any exposed API keys or passwords, scan your devices for malware, and monitor your financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to your security team or through PhishDestroy’s portal. Avoid reusing passwords across services, and enable two-factor authentication on all financial accounts. This domain remains active as of the latest intelligence, posing an ongoing threat to cryptocurrency users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 14/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260504-8464E5 Favicon MD5: 902bacdcf9631d11935484151497a89e TLS cert SHA-256: e26341aeedade017954a43292a7062cfa6eacdf2dbdb3a13f178fac45a5b5461 ## 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/cb-invoice.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cb-invoice.shop 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.
