No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 15:45:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-07 17:32:30 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e0277-532d-76f3-9537-d75a30dd93c7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 15:47:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app poses as the genuine Coinbase exchange to trick visitors into entering login or wallet-recovery details that attackers immediately harvest. When users land on this fraudulent Vercel-hosted page, the site displays the official Coinbase tagline and offers plausible-looking buy/sell flows, but all inputs are routed to attacker-controlled servers instead of Coinbase’s infrastructure. If you supply credentials, scammers can drain your wallet, lock you out, and resell your stolen crypto within minutes. PhishDestroy identifies this domain by correlating multiple threat signals collected on 2024-05-12. VirusTotal analysis shows the site is detected by 20 out of 95 participating antivirus engines (21 % coverage). The domain was registered through Vercel Inc. the same day it was first observed, which is unusual for legitimate crypto services that normally rely on dedicated, long-standing hosting. Google’s Safe Browsing service has already marked the URL with the SOCIAL_ENGINEERING verdict, and two independent blocklists—Phishunt and PhishingDB—list it as hostile. Behind the scenes, the page resolves to IP address 216.198.79.67 and uses a Google Trust Services certificate, giving it a superficially trustworthy appearance while hiding its true origin. If you accidentally visited coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app, disconnect from the site immediately and avoid entering any passwords or wallet-recovery phrases. Next, reset your Coinbase password using an official app or bookmark you trust. Enable two-factor authentication and scan your device with up-to-date antivirus software. Finally, report the incident to Coinbase support and consider moving any remaining funds to a new wallet created on the genuine Coinbase platform. Stay alert: typosquat domains like this one frequently reappear, so always double-check the exact spelling and the padlock icon before entering sensitive data. ## 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/coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase-clone-silk.vercel.app 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.
