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: 2025-07-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-10-28 10:36:53 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:21:47 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 06:14:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a2a63-f3e7-73e0-ae65-d46054d942ce/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbae.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbae.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbae.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbae.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbae.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:57:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is coinbae.cn an Impersonation Threat? The domain coinbae.cn has been identified as an elevated brand impersonation threat targeting the cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. The domain is currently offline, but it was specifically designed to deceive users into believing it is related to Coinbase by utilizing a deceptive page title that includes references to 'Coinbase Wallet' and 'official website'. This domain was created on July 24, 2025. Technical analysis reveals that coinbae.cn was flagged by 18 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant risk level. The domain is registered through Web Commerce Communications Limited and resolves to the IP address 35.220.235.80, located in Hong Kong, with the hosting provided by AS396982 Google LLC. The site used a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, and it is currently listed on two security blocklists, further implicating its malicious intent. Currently, coinbae.cn is offline, reducing its immediate threat. However, it is recommended that users remain vigilant and implement security measures such as blocking this domain at the network level. Ensure system protections are up-to-date and educate users about phishing tactics to prevent credential theft and other potential harms associated with brand impersonation domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 973be771574debca74080adac1a153469d0de602443608eb1b571e5f9f9776f1 ## 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/coinbae.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbae.cn 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.
