No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-25 02:18:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-25 07:50:04 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc1c8-724c-7676-b2db-d7546b581ece/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-25 02:18:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev has been confirmed as a live phishing domain impersonating Coinbase to harvest user credentials and deploy crypto drainers. The page leverages Cloudflare Pages, a legitimate hosting service, to deliver a convincing replica of Coinbase’s login interface. The domain is actively resolving to a malicious server and has been observed in the wild attempting to trick users into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets via a fake “verification” flow. This is consistent with recent trends in crypto drainer phishing campaigns targeting major exchanges. PhishDestroy’s analysis reveals this domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate issued to support HTTPS lures. The domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was first observed on security blocklists on an unknown date. VirusTotal detection stands at 2/95 security vendors as of the latest scan. It has been flagged by MetaMask and appears on at least one public blocklist. The domain follows a predictable pattern using a Pages.dev subdomain and the prefix “coinbase-verify-” to mimic legitimate Coinbase verification flows. This domain remains active and poses an elevated risk to users who may encounter it via phishing emails, social media, or malicious ads. PhishDestroy has blocked access to this domain and continues to monitor for related infrastructure. Remaining risk is elevated due to its recent deployment, low initial detection rate, and use of trusted platforms. Users are strongly advised to verify any unexpected “Coinbase” link using PhishDestroy before entering credentials or connecting wallets. The presence of a crypto drainer payload cannot be ruled out given the domain’s behavior and targeting. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 77629b29ff496dba7368ded00e89cdcbf8d4ca378ecf75c0973961b7097b6537 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase-verify-5lj.pages.dev Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
