PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2024-10-18 (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: 2025-08-13 07:29:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-30 21:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0198a2fa-2c5b-76ef-aaa9-2d8da70c0515/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coincatch-login-exchange.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coincatch-login-exchange.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coincatch-login-exchange.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coincatch-login-exchange.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coincatch-login-exchange.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:54:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies coincatch-login-exchange.com as a high-risk credential phishing site designed to steal login details from cryptocurrency users. The domain impersonates a legitimate crypto exchange platform, putting victims at significant risk of financial loss and identity theft. The domain was registered on October 18, 2024, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolves to IP 185.149.120.107. It is listed on one security blocklist, flagged in an AlienVault OTX threat pulse, and scored 1/100 in trust by Scamadviser. VirusTotal analysis detected 11 security vendors flagging the domain, reinforcing its malicious nature. The website is currently offline, indicating possible takedown or abandonment. Users should remain vigilant against unsolicited links claiming to be crypto exchange login pages, especially those recently registered with poor trust scores. Avoid entering any credentials on coincatch-login-exchange.com and report suspicious domains to your security provider. Regularly updating passwords and enabling multi-factor authentication on legitimate platforms can help mitigate potential harm from these phishing attempts. ## 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/coincatch-login-exchange.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coincatch-login-exchange.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.
