# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coinbase-encryptiontrade.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-07 00:25:27 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbase-encryptiontrade.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 199.59.243.228 (US, Tampa) ASN: ASAS16509 AMAZON-02, US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot LLC Nameservers: ns1.dyna-ns.net, ns2.dyna-ns.net Registered: 2025-12-27 Expires: 2026-12-27 Page title: coinbase-encryptiontrade.online ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2025-12-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-27 23:49:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b6237-48b5-74de-b8cd-ee307e857830/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbase-encryptiontrade.online crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbase-encryptiontrade.online Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbase-encryptiontrade.online AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbase-encryptiontrade.online URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbase-encryptiontrade.online/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:54:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy classifies coinbase-encryptiontrade.online as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Coinbase users. This deceptive domain aims to trick victims by mimicking a trusted cryptocurrency platform. The domain was created on December 27, 2025, and flagged by multiple security tools including Google Safe Browsing for social engineering. It appears on two security blocklists and is registered through Dynadot LLC. VirusTotal detects it as malicious by 11 out of 95 vendors, reflecting significant suspicion. Currently taken offline, users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and report any suspicious activity. PhishDestroy recommends maintaining updated security software and verifying site authenticity before sharing credentials or sensitive data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 5a0687ea8c9aa404a7724490f046e30023ec6b5aa81d01ae4f225889a64174f6 ## 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-encryptiontrade.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase-encryptiontrade.online 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.
