coinbas.es Safety Check — Brand Impersonation Detected

The domain coinbas.es is currently active and classified as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Coinbase. Registration data shows the domain was created on 2026-06-03. DNS resolution points to IP address 185.253.212.22, which is registered to Michau Enterprises Limited in Poland. The host presents a valid Let's Encrypt certificate (R13) and returns HTTP 200 for default requests. Infrastructure analysis indicates the domain appears on three security blocklists and is blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Reputation scoring from Gridinsoft assigns a 0/100 trust rating. VirusTotal analysis reports that 7 of 91 scanned security vendors flag the domain as malicious. AlienVault OTX lists the domain in four separate threat intelligence pulses. While the site content has not been directly examined, the convergence of blocklist presence, low trust score, multiple vendor detections, and explicit impersonation of Coinbase suggests a coordinated phishing effort. Defenders should block outbound connections to 185.253.212.22, add coinbas.es to local deny lists, monitor for related C2 activity, and educate users about the fraudulent Coinbase branding. Continuous monitoring is advised to detect any changes in hosting or payload delivery.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 12/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      dc633e28b18d5fbfb146c431b5bcbe86acf0c53a367f1f52f3becf6b34059d47

## 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.
