## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:27:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

coincheckusa.icu is a phishing domain actively targeting cryptocurrency users. It has been flagged by 5 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. The domain is registered with Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and hosted on an IP address managed by Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which is often used to create a false sense of security among potential victims.

The domain first came to PhishDestroy's attention on June 18, 2026. It is included in public blocklists maintained by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, highlighting its recognition as a threat by multiple security entities. The platform risk score for coincheckusa.icu is 80 out of 100, underscoring the significant threat it poses to users who might engage with it.

Phishing domains like coincheckusa.icu often exploit the time gap between domain registration and the propagation of threat data across antivirus databases. This domain, created on September 27, 2025, exemplifies how attackers leverage this window to target unsuspecting users. The fact that it is already flagged by several vendors and blocklists indicates that it is a known threat, but its continued activity suggests it remains a danger to those not yet protected by these measures.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260618-B8FC6E
Favicon MD5:       fd2175d7609fe34030c2bc8c7b88465d
TLS cert SHA-256:      5a94230ea707ff9d03c557ea77d7357a93baac3fa2af76174ee9c313d6a3d8ad

## 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.
