This report details a fraudulent domain, coinbase.giving, designed to impersonate the Coinbase brand for cryptocurrency theft. The site's page title, "Receipt for Incoming Transfer - Coinbase Commerce," indicates it posed as a legitimate Coinbase Commerce transaction receipt page. The threat is a cryptocurrency scam, where victims are likely deceived into believing they are receiving a transfer, leading to credential theft or unauthorized fund access.
Technical analysis reveals the site was flagged by 5 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with detections from alphaMountain.ai, Ermes, Fortinet, SOCRadar, and Webroot. It appears on 3 blocklists. The domain was registered on 2026-03-05 via Global Domain Group LLC. It resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3 (US), hosted by AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., with nameservers amos.ns.cloudflare.com and dayana.ns.cloudflare.com. The site had no SSL certificate.
The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. GridinSoft trust rating is 0/100, and the DOM risk score is 70, indicating a high-risk threat. Despite being offline, the domain remains a significant risk due to its impersonation of a trusted brand and association with cryptocurrency fraud.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

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.
