Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: jocelyn.ns.cloudflare.com, kyle.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-03-24 Page title: Cryptocurrency Prices, Charts And Market Capitalizations | CoinMarketCap ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-06-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bc6e64677985a7fe37315cfb238fac4e455f1c1fcd0f9d14fe12bb4cfe05f18b ## 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: 2026-03-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-20 13:47:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 13:08:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 04:20:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daa7b-be44-701d-85d1-bc46a34387fb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinmarketccap.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinmarketccap.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinmarketccap.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinmarketccap.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinmarketccap.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-20 13:48:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] coinmarketccap.cc is a high-risk crypto drainer domain impersonating the legitimate CoinMarketCap platform. The domain was flagged by security vendors for hosting a crypto drainer kit designed to steal cryptocurrency assets from unsuspecting users. The fraudulent site mimics the appearance of the authentic CoinMarketCap domain to deceive visitors into connecting their wallets or entering sensitive credentials, which are then exploited by the threat actors. This domain exhibits multiple malicious indicators. According to VirusTotal, it has a detection score of 3 out of 95 security vendors, indicating limited but present recognition of its malicious nature. The domain is registered through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and resolves to IP address 172.67.206.196. It was created on March 24, 2026, and currently holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. Additionally, the domain is blocked by MetaMask and SEAL and appears on 2 security blocklists, including Google Safe Browsing (GSB). These technical markers confirm its active role in fraudulent activities. As of the latest analysis, coinmarketccap.cc remains active and poses a significant risk to users. Security responses include blocking by MetaMask and SEAL, and inclusion on multiple threat intelligence feeds. However, despite these measures, the domain continues to operate, highlighting the need for ongoing vigilance. Users are strongly advised to verify the legitimacy of any CoinMarketCap-related domains using PhishDestroy or other trusted security tools before engaging. The high-risk status of this domain underscores the persistent threat of crypto drainers and the importance of proactive threat verification. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: e26916e1743941bd3da1aeb35d9e895e TLS cert SHA-256: bc6e64677985a7fe37315cfb238fac4e455f1c1fcd0f9d14fe12bb4cfe05f18b ## 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/coinmarketccap.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinmarketccap.cc 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.
