# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coinbaseinv.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 00:35:34 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbaseinv.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 21/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, MalwareURL, Seclookup, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.170.5 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: blakely.ns.cloudflare.com, leonard.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-05-19 Page title: Attention Required! | Cloudflare HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-08-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4ccbc44204ff9e7fa4d9fd6689919810ce51c9f0941622290c88e38df320724e ## 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: 2026-05-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-20 10:21:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-20 07:22:54 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 02:16:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:22 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4440-d8a1-7358-8df7-9f1738bda15d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/46f16564-a4d8-498d-95f3-b1313a149666 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbaseinv.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbaseinv.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbaseinv.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbaseinv.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbaseinv.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 05:11:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, coinbaseinv.com, is confirmed as an active brand impersonation phishing site targeting Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with legitimate Coinbase services, likely for credential harvesting or unauthorized transaction initiation. The site remains operational as of the latest verification, posing an elevated risk to unsuspecting visitors. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 19, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a detail that may assist in tracking related malicious activity. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.170.5, which is part of a content delivery network known for obfuscating hosting origins. The domain is flagged by 15 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate to high confidence in its malicious nature. Additional trust assessments, such as a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, further corroborate its classification as a phishing resource. The domain appears on two security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and Hagezi, and employs technologies such as Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, which are often leveraged to enhance evasion and performance. Current status confirms the domain is active and serving content, though it presents a Cloudflare interstitial page with the title 'Attention Required! | Cloudflare,' suggesting either an attempt to filter traffic or a temporary disruption in its malicious operations. Users and organizations are advised to block this domain at the network level and include it in endpoint protection rules. Security teams should monitor for related domains registered through the same registrar or resolving to the same IP range, as these may indicate a broader campaign. Affected users should immediately revoke any credentials or session tokens that may have been exposed and enable multi-factor authentication on all financial and cryptocurrency-related accounts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 21/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260520-CAC5CD TLS cert SHA-256: 4ccbc44204ff9e7fa4d9fd6689919810ce51c9f0941622290c88e38df320724e ## 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/coinbaseinv.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbaseinv.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.
