# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coinbase.minehardware.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-16 13:20:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbase.minehardware.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: coinbase (and: ethereum, solana) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 98.84.224.111 (US, Ashburn) ASN: ASAS14618 AMAZON-AES, US Hosting org: AS14618 Amazon.com, Inc. Nameservers: ["dns1.p07.nsone.net", "dns3.p07.nsone.net", "dns2.p07.nsone.net", "dns4.p07.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Coinbase – Buy & Sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, and more with trust ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:21:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-06 23:13:19 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 08:39:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bb5de-e116-7288-8556-9dd864e27b72/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbase.minehardware.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbase.minehardware.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbase.minehardware.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbase.minehardware.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbase.minehardware.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 15:01:00 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.minehardware.com as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate cryptocurrency services. This site poses a significant threat by attempting to steal sensitive financial and personal information from unsuspecting visitors. The phishing attack typically involves creating a fake Coinbase-like interface under the coinbase.minehardware.com domain, tricking users into entering login credentials or wallet details. This fraudulent setup exploits users' trust in well-known brand names to harvest data for illicit use. If you have visited this site, it is crucial to immediately change any compromised passwords, enable two-factor authentication on your accounts, and monitor your financial statements for suspicious activity. Reporting the incident to your service providers and avoiding similar domains in the future will help protect your assets. PhishDestroy recommends always verifying URLs and using trusted sources for cryptocurrency transactions. ## 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.minehardware.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase.minehardware.com 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.
