## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:56:34 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-rho.vercel.app as a low-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Coinbase users. Although the risk is assessed as low, the domain is actively engaging in deceptive practices designed to mimic the Coinbase brand.

Supporting intelligence shows the domain resolves to IP address 216.198.79.3 and is registered via Tucows Domains Inc. It has been flagged by 2 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and appears on 4 separate security blocklists. The Gridinsoft trust score rates it at 0 out of 100, indicating no trustworthiness. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and remains active, which reinforces the ongoing threat potential.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with coinbase-rho.vercel.app and to verify URLs carefully when accessing Coinbase services. Security teams should consider blocking this domain due to its presence on multiple blocklists. Monitoring is recommended since the domain currently remains active and continues to impersonate the Coinbase brand.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc
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.
