Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain dscea-coinbase.com is currently active and is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting the cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase. There is no indication of a specific crypto drainer kit being used, but the domain is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate Coinbase service. Analysis of technical indicators reveals that dscea-coinbase.com has been flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and resolves to the IP address 178.16.54.253. It was created on June 26, 2026, and is using an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status and blocklist count are currently unknown, but the domain's recent creation and low VirusTotal score suggest a high level of suspicion. The domain remains active, and users are advised to avoid interacting with it. Organizations should update their security policies to block access to this domain and educate their employees about the risks associated with brand impersonation attacks. Despite the lack of widespread detection, the domain poses a significant risk due to its intent to impersonate a trusted brand and potentially steal user credentials. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-FADA97 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 5448748fb17b5d8a647614bc1fd0bc0d30bef59c65dcf8f3122eb139a72e3174 ## 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/dscea-coinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dscea-coinbase.com 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.
