# PhishDestroy threat dossier — gemini-coin.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 12:29:42 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gemini-coin.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 85/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Gemini ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, LevelBlue, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 3 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] gemini-coin.com: Active Cryptocurrency Phishing Site Warning Analysis conducted on July 26, 2026 identifies gemini-coin.com as an active high-risk phishing domain targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC, with Cloudflare nameservers (lennon.ns.cloudflare.com and penny.ns.cloudflare.com), a configuration commonly observed in phishing infrastructure due to Cloudflare’s proxy services. At the time of assessment, the domain returns an HTTP 200 status, indicating an operational web server, though the exact content of the page remains unanalyzed beyond its classification as generic phishing. Detection metrics reveal limited but targeted vendor awareness: three of ninety-one security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, and it appears on at least one security blocklist. While the low detection count may suggest either recent deployment or evasion techniques, the domain’s inclusion in PhishDestroy’s blocklist confirms active malicious classification. No additional details regarding the specific cryptocurrency brand being impersonated, the phishing kit in use, or the targeted user actions (e.g., credential harvesting, wallet draining) are available from the current evidence. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as a confirmed threat vector. Immediate actions should include blocking the domain at the DNS and network perimeter levels, particularly for organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions or user data. Monitoring for connections to the domain’s Cloudflare-resolved IPs is recommended, though note that Cloudflare’s proxy may obscure the true origin server. Given the domain’s registration with NameSilo and use of Cloudflare, historical WHOIS data may yield limited ownership details, but defenders should prioritize behavioral detection over reliance on registrar transparency. If internal logs indicate user interaction with this domain, initiate incident response protocols for potential credential compromise or financial fraud. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 371636f73f99eb4a64e5d0f1a9fa1075 TLS cert SHA-256: cbd7b8f51234bd6789773d1ccf6a0abbafb102fceb5501840b709421c3ce40e2 ## 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/gemini-coin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gemini-coin.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
