PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:20:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 13:11:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-03 03:29:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01995d33-3727-763b-9d67-53528bc31fa7/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbase-eight.vercel.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbase-eight.vercel.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbase-eight.vercel.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbase-eight.vercel.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbase-eight.vercel.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:12:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies coinbase-eight.vercel.app as a high-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Coinbase users. This malicious site was designed to deceive individuals by mimicking Coinbase’s branding, aiming to trick victims into divulging sensitive information or credentials. Brand impersonation attacks like this pose significant threats as they exploit user trust in well-known companies to facilitate fraud or account compromise. The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. and resolved to the IP address 216.198.79.3. It appeared on three separate security blocklists and was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering activity. VirusTotal analysis shows that 15 out of 95 security vendors have identified suspicious activity associated with this domain. Despite these red flags, the site currently shows a "Deployment Unavailable" message and is offline, mitigating immediate risk. Users should remain cautious and avoid clicking links or submitting any personal or financial information on coinbase-eight.vercel.app or similar suspicious domains. It’s crucial to verify URLs carefully, especially when dealing with financial services like Coinbase. If you suspect you have interacted with this or any phishing domain, change your passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication on your accounts. Stay informed by following updates from trusted security sources such as PhishDestroy. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338 ## 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-eight.vercel.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase-eight.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.
