## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-05 18:44:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

coinbase-cloned-alpha.vercel.app has been identified as an active brand impersonation scam targeting Coinbase users. The domain mimics the legitimate Coinbase platform to deceive victims into revealing sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency assets. PhishDestroy has classified this domain as a high-risk threat under active investigation, with confirmed impersonation tactics employed to exploit user trust in the Coinbase brand.

Analysis of this domain reveals several concerning indicators. Flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, it currently evades detection mechanisms despite its malicious intent. The domain is registered through Vercel Inc. and resolves to IP address 64.29.17.3. It utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, further enhancing its appearance of legitimacy. While the exact creation date remains undisclosed, the absence of detections underscores the sophistication of this impersonation scheme, posing a significant risk to unsuspecting users.

The domain remains active and poses an immediate threat to potential victims. PhishDestroy recommends blocking coinbase-cloned-alpha.vercel.app at the network and endpoint levels, updating DNS filtering rules, and educating users about the risks of brand impersonation scams. Organizations should also monitor for related domains and review SSL certificate issuance logs for similar threats. Immediate action is critical to mitigate the risk of cryptocurrency theft and credential compromise.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f832dfb2653761e8b0001dbaf84eab20667c9bfb0520700547d3b3bf548143aa

## 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.
