## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-18 20:00:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

coinebaseextansion.gitbook.io: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis of coinebaseextansion.gitbook.io indicates that the domain is actively used for phishing and is currently classified as high‑risk. The domain appears on two security blocklists and is blocked by multiple security extensions, confirming its malicious reputation. Registration was performed through Cloudflare, Inc., with authoritative nameservers dahlia.ns.cloudflare.com and hugh.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain was created on 30 March 2014 and resolves to IP address 104.18.40.47, which is hosted behind Cloudflare’s edge network. TLS is provided by Google Trust Services, showing a valid certificate chain but offering no mitigation against the underlying malicious activity. VirusTotal scans show that 10 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of phishing behavior. While the specific phishing kit, targeted brand, or page content has not been publicly disclosed, the convergence of blocklist presence, vendor detections, and active blocking by security tools provides sufficient evidence to treat the domain as a confirmed phishing infrastructure. Defenders should block DNS resolution to 104.18.40.47, add the domain to web‑filter deny lists, and monitor for any related C2 traffic. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised should additional indicators emerge.

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

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       4e921504f22ed443112301f64059cc83
TLS cert SHA-256:      d76aa1094c3d1ca19014ac824313b04e833289dec61fbca06aa6f92bad9464ad

## 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.
