# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coinbasecontractrading.top ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 13:36:11 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbasecontractrading.top/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: ["lennox.ns.cloudflare.com.", "ophelia.ns.cloudflare.com."] Registered: 2026-06-15 Expires: 2026-08-13 Page title: Coinbase contract ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7b18f783dcc03763404d47d9b7b1a03d1f946b13e4bdea0bf724317413e417f8 ## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 16:34:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 14:57:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:40:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecbb3-1a01-7474-8f44-fd4b2f621bba/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9ca4c4fa-ee69-4278-8014-a78428e2bff7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbasecontractrading.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbasecontractrading.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbasecontractrading.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbasecontractrading.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbasecontractrading.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:39:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain coinbasecontractrading.top is identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. This domain was designed to mimic Coinbase’s contract trading services, as evidenced by its page title, 'Coinbase contract.' Currently, the domain is offline, but its prior activity and infrastructure warrant close scrutiny. Analysis of this domain reveals multiple technical indicators of malicious intent. It was flagged by 13 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating widespread detection as a phishing or fraudulent resource. The domain was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on June 15, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It appears on three security blocklists, further confirming its association with malicious activity. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), does not mitigate the risk, as threat actors frequently use valid certificates to lend credibility to fraudulent sites. Given its current offline status, this domain does not pose an immediate active threat. However, the infrastructure and registration details suggest it was part of a broader campaign to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information or transferring funds. Organizations and individuals are advised to block this domain at the network level and monitor for related domains using similar naming conventions or infrastructure. Users who may have interacted with this domain should review account activity for unauthorized transactions and reset credentials for any associated accounts. Proactive monitoring of blocklists and threat intelligence feeds is recommended to detect resurgence or similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-EB9F8D Favicon MD5: ed286772e9c5ef94a35dfa8f4a6a0f80 TLS cert SHA-256: 7b18f783dcc03763404d47d9b7b1a03d1f946b13e4bdea0bf724317413e417f8 ## 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/coinbasecontractrading.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbasecontractrading.top 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.
