Analyst Security Overview

AI-Generated

The domain coinbase-rec.com impersonates Coinbase, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, posing a risk to users who might believe they are accessing legitimate services. With a VirusTotal score of 14/95 and additional flags from URLQuery, this domain is highly suspicious and likely designed to harvest user credentials or sensitive information.

Registered just one day ago through Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU LLC, this domain is still in its infancy, raising concerns about its intent. The associated IP address, 37.140.192.194, contributes to its dubious reputation, further supported by three blocklist entries. The rapid registration and existing detections suggest it is part of a larger phishing scheme targeting unsuspecting individuals.

Currently, coinbase-rec.com remains active. PhishDestroy is actively monitoring the situation, having already reported the domain and added it to our blocklist. Continued vigilance is essential as we track any developments related to this potential phishing threat.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →
