## 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.

Last verified:     2026-04-21 08:13:08 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:10:49 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-extension-io.pages.dev as a high-risk phishing domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting Coinbase users. Classified under brand impersonation, this domain attempts to deceive visitors by mimicking the legitimate Coinbase brand to harvest sensitive credentials. The page title detected was "Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare," indicating suspicion from hosting services.

Technically, the domain was created recently on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. It is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., leveraging their infrastructure. The domain has been flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on three different security blocklists. Additionally, Google Safe Browsing categorizes this domain under "SOCIAL_ENGINEERING," confirming its phishing nature. These indicators confirm malicious intent and a well-documented reputation for fraud.

Currently, coinbase-extension-io.pages.dev is offline, reflecting prompt mitigation efforts likely due to abuse reports and detections. Users are advised to avoid this domain and any similar URLs that impersonate Coinbase or other financial services. PhishDestroy recommends verifying website authenticity before entering credentials and reporting suspicious domains to help reduce phishing risks.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      209923a5238526e89424f6288913bd02ea957c909ab769b1ffb9a5e4cf53065e

## 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.
