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: 2017-02-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-09 14:11:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 00:28:42 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f46ca-1781-71a7-ab9c-6377a52372db/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-09 14:14:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.com has been identified as a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting the recognized brand Coinbase. The status of this domain is currently active, indicating that it remains operational and potentially fraudulent in nature. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain resolves to the IP address 52.22.145.238 and is registered through Amazon Registrar, Inc. The creation date for this domain is noted as February 14, 2017. According to VirusTotal, it has not yet been flagged by any of the 95 vendors, indicating a current lack of detection on standard threat monitoring platforms. Additionally, no blocklists have been identified against this domain at this time, which suggests an absence of widespread acknowledgment as a threat within cybersecurity databases. Given that this domain is still active, it is crucial for users to exercise extreme caution when encountering any communications or advertisements about a Coinbase airdrop linked to this site. It is advised to avoid any interaction with the domain, including clicks on links or providing any personal or financial information. Regular monitoring of this domain is recommended to ensure any developing threats or behaviors are reported effectively to relevant authorities for appropriate action.

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/coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase-airdrop.b12sites.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
