No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-08 11:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-09 16:09:44 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-08 12:00:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Threat Overview The domain coinbase[.]transferprotection[.]com has been identified as a phishing website designed to impersonate Coinbase. This malicious site targets cryptocurrency users by creating a convincing replica of the legitimate Coinbase platform. Attack Vector The phishing site attempts to trick users into connecting their wallets or entering their seed phrases and private keys. Once captured, the attackers use these credentials to drain victims' cryptocurrency holdings. Risk Indicators - Domain registered on a standard TLD (com) - Contains brand keywords associated with Coinbase - Domain length: 31 characters - Unusually long domain name — a common phishing technique Recommendations Always access Coinbase through the official website. Never enter your seed phrase or private keys on any website. Use hardware wallets for additional security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 073b96cd6084cb78431faa3957314591 TLS cert SHA-256: ce10e4cc9b48fc710d330593355457b586d389f4c2fbd6422364f0c803f74fc6 ## 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.transferprotection.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbase.transferprotection.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.
