# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coinbaseverification.co ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-26 04:10:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbaseverification.co/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Tech Support Scam Targeted brand: Apple (and: coinbase, google) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 24/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Phishtank, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 84.32.84.32 (LT, Vilnius) ASN: ASAS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu Nameservers: ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-21 Page title: coinbase ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (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) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-21 20:58:35 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-26 04:21:27 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019be1b4-dd0e-730e-be9d-9d5f6503734e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinbaseverification.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinbaseverification.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinbaseverification.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinbaseverification.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinbaseverification.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:53:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] coinbaseverification.co Fake Apple Brand Impersonation Alert This domain, coinbaseverification.co, is identified as a high-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Apple users. Analysis indicates the domain was designed to mimic legitimate Apple services, likely for credential theft or unauthorized account access. Despite displaying a page title of 'coinbase,' the infrastructure and intelligence suggest a deliberate attempt to exploit Apple's brand reputation, potentially through fake verification prompts or fraudulent login portals. No crypto drainer kit signatures were detected, but the domain's design aligns with credential harvesting tactics commonly used in phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 84.32.84.32, hosted under AS47583 (Hostinger International Limited) in Lithuania. The domain is flagged by Google Safe Browsing as phishing and appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal reports 24 out of 95 security vendors detecting malicious activity associated with this domain. Notably, the domain lacks an SSL certificate, increasing the risk of unencrypted data interception during user interactions. As of the latest assessment, coinbaseverification.co has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure to end users. However, the domain's infrastructure remains registered and could be reactivated or repurposed for future malicious campaigns. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and its associated IP address at the network level. Users who may have interacted with this domain should reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window, particularly those linked to Apple services. Continuous monitoring of related infrastructure is recommended due to the persistent risk posed by the domain's registrar and hosting provider. ## 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/coinbaseverification.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinbaseverification.co 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.
