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: 2000-03-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-07 15:06:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-08-01 20:21:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-21 18:06:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019af959-2ad3-743a-953a-b6ba17606ed0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbasecode.wordpress.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbasecode.wordpress.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbasecode.wordpress.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbasecode.wordpress.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbasecode.wordpress.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-24 01:23:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] coinbasecode.wordpress.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy The site coinbasecode.wordpress.com is a cryptocurrency scam site that impersonates the Coinbase brand. Its page title, "Coinbase Codes and Binance Discounts – Get 10$ free Worth and discounts trading," indicates it lures users with fraudulent offers of free cryptocurrency and trading discounts. The threat is social engineering designed to trick victims into providing credentials or sending cryptocurrency, leading to financial loss. Technical analysis shows the site is flagged by 8 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. Google Safe Browsing reports it as flagged for SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. It is registered with MarkMonitor, Inc. and hosted on IP address 192.0.78.13, associated with AS2635 Automattic, Inc in the United States. The domain was created on 2000-03-03. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt with fingerprint E8. The site uses nameservers ns1.wordpress.com, ns2.wordpress.com, ns3.wordpress.com, and ns4.wordpress.com. The site is currently DOWN/OFFLINE, which reduces immediate risk. However, the high detection rate and social engineering flag confirm it is a malicious threat. The risk level is high for any user who may encounter it if it becomes active again, due to the potential for credential theft and financial fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 98c2692704108e8beb29169e12135875320dd7bd21c900999772081e715c6e2c ## 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 (operator 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/coinbasecode.wordpress.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbasecode.wordpress.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
