# PhishDestroy threat dossier — event-coinbase.fun ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-02 10:48:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/event-coinbase.fun/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: coinbase (and: revolut) Wallet drainer: Solana Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 20/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 100 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: lila.ns.cloudflare.com, tanner.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-26 Page title: Coinbase Coin | Airdrop ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none 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: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-26 17:30:00 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-22 09:39:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bfab4-f099-7545-a863-a49930be6cb9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/event-coinbase.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.event-coinbase.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=event-coinbase.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/event-coinbase.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/event-coinbase.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:37:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies event-coinbase.fun as a malicious crypto drainer domain impersonating the Coinbase brand. The site used a 'Coinbase Coin | Airdrop' lure to deceive victims into revealing sensitive information and draining Solana-based wallets using a known drainer kit. This campaign posed a significant threat to cryptocurrency users by exploiting trust in a reputable exchange. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolved to IP address 188.114.97.3. It appeared on multiple security blocklists and was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering. AlienVault OTX detected it in a threat pulse, and VirusTotal analysis showed 20 out of 95 security vendors marking it as malicious. The infrastructure leveraged a Solana drainer kit, highlighting its specialized focus on crypto asset theft. Users are advised to remain vigilant against unsolicited airdrop offers and to verify URLs carefully before interacting with any crypto-related sites. Avoid clicking on links from unknown sources, especially those promising free coins or rewards. If you suspect exposure to this phishing domain, immediately change your wallet credentials and monitor your accounts for unauthorized transactions. ## 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/event-coinbase.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=event-coinbase.fun 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.
