Beware coingecko.mom phishing site impersonating crypto tracker

Analysis of the domain coingecko.mom indicates active phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users. Registered on July 23, 2026, through Porkbun LLC, the domain currently resolves to IP address 207.207.210.50 and remains operational as of July 25, 2026. Infrastructure review shows nameservers hosted under Porkbun (curitiba.ns.porkbun.com, fortaleza.ns.porkbun.com, maceio.ns.porkbun.com, salvador.ns.porkbun.com), a registrar commonly used for both legitimate and malicious domains.

The domain appears on one security blocklist, and PhishDestroy has flagged it for phishing activity. VirusTotal scans by 91 vendors returned no detections, though this absence does not confirm safety. No additional brand target or phishing kit details are currently available, and the exact page content remains unanalyzed.

Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk for cryptocurrency-related phishing, particularly given its resemblance to the legitimate CoinGecko platform. Network-level blocking is recommended pending further investigation, and users should be alerted to avoid interaction with the site. Further monitoring of detection trends and hosting behavior is advised to assess evolving threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260725-68BC38
TLS cert SHA-256:      37709583c28805df4f6d69df9f365ce30cf4a3e182d1a25ec5e324934276dc62

## 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.
