## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:56:33 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-kp.vercel.app as a domain impersonating the well-known cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. Brand impersonation poses risks such as phishing attacks aimed at stealing sensitive user credentials or financial information, potentially leading to unauthorized access and fraud. Detecting and avoiding such sites is crucial to maintaining personal and financial security.

The domain coinbase-kp.vercel.app was registered on February 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc. and resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.131. It has been flagged on three security blocklists, indicating prior detection by various security services. VirusTotal analysis shows that 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain, suggesting low but noteworthy suspicion. Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk, but caution is warranted should it reappear under similar or altered forms.

Users should refrain from visiting or interacting with coinbase-kp.vercel.app, especially avoiding inputting any personal or login information. Always verify website URLs directly from official Coinbase communications or trusted sources. Employing multi-factor authentication and regularly updating security software can further help mitigate phishing threats. PhishDestroy recommends reporting suspicious domains and staying informed about evolving phishing tactics to protect online assets.

## 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.
