================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-10 18:02:52 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinbbaseexteension.gitbook.io/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Base

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Emsisoft, G-Data, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Netcraft, Webroot
URLQuery:        -1 detections
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists
Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GitBook
Registered:      2026-05-25
HTTP response:   307

## 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: 2026-05-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-26 05:30:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 03:47:16 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-10 17:33:16 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-26 12:17:40 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 14:55:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain coinbbaseexteension.gitbook.io has been identified as a confirmed brand impersonation site targeting Base, a cryptocurrency platform. Analysis indicates this infrastructure was designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate Base services, likely for credential harvesting or cryptocurrency theft. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests malicious intent.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GitBook and flagged by 10 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It appears on three security blocklists and was created on May 25, 2026. No associated IP addresses or hosting providers beyond GitBook’s platform were identified in available telemetry. The domain’s detection rate and blocklist presence align with known patterns of brand impersonation campaigns targeting cryptocurrency users.  Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, though residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with it prior to deactivation. Organizations and individuals are advised to block this domain at the network level and review logs for prior connections. Users should verify the authenticity of any cryptocurrency-related service before engaging, particularly those hosted on third-party documentation platforms. Monitoring for similar impersonation domains targeting Base or other cryptocurrency brands is recommended.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
