Nameservers: ["pl2.managedns.org", "pl4.managedns.org", "pl1.managedns.org", "pl3.managedns.org"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Coins Expert – Safe investment with Coins Expert HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R10 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:19:36 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:19:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 00:26:56 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01987c3c-e4e0-71fe-81d7-1897641c8907/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/coins.bitsassets.biz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.coins.bitsassets.biz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=coins.bitsassets.biz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/coins.bitsassets.biz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/coins.bitsassets.biz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 20:33:18 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain coins.bitsassets.biz has been identified as a generic phishing site, posing a risk to users who may visit it. The site currently has an elevated risk level and has been taken offline. It does not impersonate any specific brand or use a known drainer kit. Users should avoid interacting with this domain to prevent potential scams or phishing attacks. The domain coins.bitsassets.biz was created on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 172.245.14.131, which is located in the US under the AS36352 HostPapa network. The SSL certificate for this domain is issued by R10. According to VirusTotal, 1 of 95 security vendors flags this domain as malicious, including Gridinsoft, which gives it a trust score of 0 out of 100. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. If users have interacted with coins.bitsassets.biz, they should take immediate steps to secure their accounts. For generic phishing, it is recommended to change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor for any signs of unauthorized activity. Users can report this phishing domain to their preferred security vendor and to the hosting provider HostPapa. Additionally, reporting the domain to PhishTank or the Anti-Phishing Working Group can help prevent further victimization and contribute to the overall security of the internet. ## 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/coins.bitsassets.biz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=coins.bitsassets.biz 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.
