coinbase.com.bayern is a phishing domain that impersonates Coinbase and targets people who hold accounts on the exchange. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-03. As of 2026-10-19 the site is still alive and responds with a redirect, so the address remains active and can send visitors elsewhere.
How the scam works
The trick is in the name. The domain begins with "coinbase.com", and the real ending, the German regional extension ".bayern", sits where many readers never look, especially in a shortened mobile address bar. Impersonation pages like this copy the exchange's sign-in flow to capture email, password and one-time 2FA codes, which attackers replay at once to log in and withdraw balances. The page title shows only "com.bayern" with no Coinbase branding, but the domain name itself is built around the Coinbase brand, which is the basis for our classification.
Evidence
On VirusTotal, 13 of 89 engines flag the domain as of 2026-09-16, including ChainPatrol, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data and Google Safe Browsing. Google Safe Browsing classes it as SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, which triggers warnings in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Beyond PhishDestroy, the domain appears on the MetaMask and SEAL blocklists, both run by crypto-security teams.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2024-10-21 through Dynadot Inc, almost two years before PhishDestroy detected it. That long gap suggests it was registered early and held until it was needed. It resolves to 103.224.182.251 on the Trellian Pty. Limited network in the US. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gives it a padlock icon, and a padlock alone proves nothing about who runs a site.
What to do
If you typed your Coinbase password on this site, change it immediately from the official app. Then reset 2FA, preferring a hardware key or authenticator app over SMS, and sign out all other active sessions. Review recent logins, withdrawals, whitelisted addresses and API keys, and contact Coinbase support at once if anything looks unfamiliar. Reuse of that password anywhere else should be changed as well. Defenders should block the domain and IP, and watch mail and chat traffic for brand-prefixed lookalikes that pair "coinbase.com" with an unrelated extension.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including coinbase.com.bayern)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
