# PhishDestroy threat dossier — gmo.jp-usdt.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 15:30:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gmo.jp-usdt.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 103.122.245.91 (HK, Tung Chung) ASN: AS152918 Liberally Network LLC Hosting org: AS152918 Liberally Network LLC 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.

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: 2026-04-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 18:30:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 16:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3843-e494-7259-a24a-2265b14b40f1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gmo.jp-usdt.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.gmo.jp-usdt.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=gmo.jp-usdt.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/gmo.jp-usdt.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/gmo.jp-usdt.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 18:56:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, gmo.jp-usdt.com, is currently under investigation for brand impersonation targeting Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. The site remains active and presents itself as a legitimate Coinbase portal, potentially aiming to harvest user credentials or facilitate unauthorized transactions. Analysis indicates this infrastructure is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with official Coinbase services. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC, with a creation date of April 07, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 103.122.245.91 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for encrypted communications. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it may still evade automated detection systems. The page title explicitly displays 'coinbase,' reinforcing the impersonation attempt. No blocklist entries or trust score deviations have been recorded at this time. Current status confirms the domain remains operational, posing an ongoing risk to users unfamiliar with Coinbase's legitimate domains. Organizations and individuals are advised to implement network-level blocking for gmo.jp-usdt.com and its associated IP address 103.122.245.91. End-users should verify domain authenticity before entering credentials, particularly for financial or cryptocurrency-related services. Security teams are encouraged to monitor for additional domains registered under similar patterns, such as the inclusion of 'usdt' or other cryptocurrency-related terms. Proactive threat hunting for related infrastructure is recommended to identify potential campaign expansion.

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/gmo.jp-usdt.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gmo.jp-usdt.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.
