coinbase-card.net Fake Coinbase Alert

The domain coinbase-card.net is currently active and is flagged for brand impersonation, specifically targeting Coinbase. The page title, 'Coinbase Has the Price of Ripple Today', suggests an attempt to deceive users into believing the site is associated with Coinbase. Infrastructure analysis reveals that this domain resolves to the IP address 198.49.23.145, which is located in the US and associated with Squarespace, Inc. The domain is registered through Squarespace Domains LLC and employs Let's Encrypt for its SSL certificate. Security analytics indicate that 5 of 91 security vendors have flagged this domain, and it appears on 3 known security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. The HTTP status code returned is 301, indicating a redirect. Given its high-risk assessment, organizations should block access to this domain and educate users about the potential for brand impersonation scams, as the site may be used to harvest credentials or conduct other malicious activities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c8e52225579d1dde8b9f284c04be522bbcfcc279b11c04382dcc53dd1cdb8ce4

## 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.
