## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:24:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-21 08:09:08 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-03 03:08:12 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:20:57 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-in-sec.pages.dev as a high-risk phishing site impersonating the popular cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. This domain poses significant danger as it aims to trick users into revealing sensitive information by mimicking Coinbase's appearance and branding. Visitors risk having their credentials stolen or financial accounts compromised.

This phishing scheme leverages a Cloudflare-registered domain created in February 2026 that resolves to a suspicious IP address. The site was flagged for social engineering by Google Safe Browsing and appears on multiple security blocklists, indicating widespread detection efforts. When users visit, they may encounter fake login forms or warnings designed to lure them into submitting personal or financial data.

Since the site is currently offline, immediate infection risk is reduced, but users who have previously interacted with it should take protective actions. It is critical to change any Coinbase passwords used during that time, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor account activity for unauthorized transactions. Always verify cryptocurrency platforms via official channels and avoid clicking on links from unsolicited messages to stay safe from scams like coinbase-in-sec.pages.dev.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3df2165a3ffbb2e68231901cfc07bf8f33907808805b38522e13d60a69807390

## 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.
