# PhishDestroy threat dossier — coinpayments.world ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 07:03:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinpayments.world/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 178.16.53.154 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: ASAS202412 OMEGATECH-AS Omegatech LTD, SC Hosting org: AS202412 Omegatech LTD Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ns1.gcorelabs.net, ns2.gcdn.services Registered: 2026-04-29 Expires: 2027-04-29 Page title: CoinPayments: Secure Merchant Access & Payment Tools HTTP response: 502 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-10-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e5a0a2217bcde25430f9b49d549da0165913ffbd20f91894a442d836385c33f5 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.coinpayments.world ## 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: 2026-04-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 14:34:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f376b-71ea-7186-91b3-9f4d154d705d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coinpayments.world crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coinpayments.world Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coinpayments.world AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coinpayments.world URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coinpayments.world/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 15:00:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, coinpayments.world, presents a targeted phishing threat designed to impersonate a legitimate cryptocurrency payment gateway. Analysis indicates the site uses the page title 'CoinPayments: Secure Merchant Access & Payment Tools' to deceive users into entering sensitive login credentials, API keys, or wallet information. The threat actor likely aims to harvest these details for unauthorized account access, fund theft, or further exploitation of connected merchant services. Given the domain's recent creation and lack of prior detection, this campaign appears to be in an early deployment phase, increasing the risk of undetected compromise for unsuspecting victims. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 29, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with newly established phishing domains. As of the latest assessment, coinpayments.world resolves to the IP address 178.16.53.154 and has not been flagged by any security vendors, with a VirusTotal detection count of 0/95. The absence of prior blocklist entries or community reports suggests the domain is either newly operational or employing evasion techniques to avoid automated detection systems. The use of a future creation date (2026) may indicate an attempt to bypass time-based reputation filters or could be an error in the registration data. Users who have visited coinpayments.world or entered credentials on the site should immediately revoke any exposed API keys, change passwords for associated accounts, and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Wallet addresses or transaction details shared with the site should be considered compromised, and users are advised to monitor connected accounts for unauthorized activity. Security teams are encouraged to block the domain and its resolving IP (178.16.53.154) at the network level to prevent further access. Given the domain's active status and lack of prior detection, heightened vigilance is recommended for individuals or organizations interacting with cryptocurrency payment platforms. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b819c699315ef14dce273978b778c4cd TLS cert SHA-256: e5a0a2217bcde25430f9b49d549da0165913ffbd20f91894a442d836385c33f5 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/coinpayments.world/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coinpayments.world 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
