## 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.

Last verified:     2026-04-21 08:30:54 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:21:08 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified coinbasechrome-extension.pages.dev as a high-risk brand impersonation domain targeting Coinbase users. This site was taken offline after being flagged for suspected phishing activities. Its deceptive appearance aims to trick users into believing they are interacting with the legitimate Coinbase platform, placing their credentials and assets in jeopardy.

This fraudulent domain attempted to mimic Coinbase by presenting itself as a browser extension page. Typically, such phishing schemes lure victims into entering sensitive login information or installing malicious software that can compromise account security. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Cloudflare and resolved to the IP 188.114.97.3. Multiple security services, including Google Safe Browsing and various blocklists, marked it for social engineering risks.

If you have visited this page, refrain from entering any personal or financial data. Immediately review your Coinbase account for unauthorized activity and change your passwords. It's advisable to enable two-factor authentication for enhanced protection. PhishDestroy recommends running a full security scan on your devices and monitoring your accounts closely to prevent potential breaches stemming from exposure to this malicious domain.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e403d790d3be119ef0ec5c0f7c5e571312066a882e275d0d967701e3dc64f6ed

## 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.
