# PhishDestroy threat dossier — geminicoin.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-30 12:00:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/geminicoin.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- CRITICAL THREAT — DO NOT VISIT Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Gemini ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, LevelBlue, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.162.191 (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.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-26 08:03:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-30 12:20:30 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 08:05:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is geminicoin.cc a phishing website? On July 26, 2026, the domain geminicoin.cc was identified as an active generic phishing infrastructure with a high risk rating. VirusTotal records indicate that three of ninety‑one security vendors have flagged the domain, suggesting that at least a subset of scanning engines have detected malicious characteristics. The domain resolves to Cloudflare’s name servers, specifically lennon.ns.cloudflare.com and penny.ns.cloudflare.com, a configuration commonly used to provide resilient DNS service and to obscure the true hosting origin. Registration information shows that the domain was created through NameSilo, LLC, a registrar that does not impose strict verification of registrant identity, which can facilitate rapid turnover of malicious domains. HTTP probing returned a status code of 200, confirming that a web service is currently responding to requests, and the site remains listed as active in threat‑intel feeds. Defensive blocklists have already added geminicoin.cc to one known security blocklist, and the PhishDestroy platform has explicitly blocked the domain, indicating that some protective services are aware of its malicious intent. However, the limited number of vendor detections and its presence on only a single blocklist suggest that broader detection coverage may still be lacking. Defenders should prioritize adding geminicoin.cc to local deny lists, enforce DNS‑level blocking where possible, and monitor outbound traffic for any connections to the domain’s IP addresses. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as additional detections may emerge if further analysis by security vendors uncovers more indicators of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 371636f73f99eb4a64e5d0f1a9fa1075 TLS cert SHA-256: b54f0d1bc1e8dbe0051c0275c454cf73a287070fc43f8128f70700811ceec39a ## 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/geminicoin.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=geminicoin.cc 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.
