CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Fake Exchange
Targeted brand: Gemini

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.85.130 (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.

Is gemini-coin.net a Fake Cryptocurrency Exchange Scam?

Analysis of gemini-coin.net as of July 26, 2026, indicates this domain is an active high-risk phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain is currently flagged by one security blocklist, PhishDestroy, and detected by 2 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is registered through NameSilo, LLC, and uses Cloudflare nameservers (lennon.ns.cloudflare.com and penny.ns.cloudflare.com), a common tactic to obscure hosting details and evade takedowns.

The site returns an HTTP 200 status, confirming it is live and accessible. No specific brand impersonation details or phishing kit identifiers are available in the current intelligence, but the domain name suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency platforms. The exact content and functionality of the site remain unanalyzed, though the classification as a generic phishing domain implies it likely harvests credentials or facilitates fraudulent transactions.

Defenders should treat this domain as malicious and block it at the network level. Organizations are advised to monitor for connections to this domain, particularly in environments where cryptocurrency-related activity is common. Additional investigation into associated IP addresses, SSL certificates, and any linked infrastructure is recommended to assess the full scope of the threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       371636f73f99eb4a64e5d0f1a9fa1075
TLS cert SHA-256:      1ee2492bca4c106cf886b2eb90a8f87ce473a17704970ae55869a34cb1afad69

## 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.
