Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] gorecoin.com is a newly registered domain that impersonates Ethereum to trick users into entering login credentials or payment details. The site mimics a cryptocurrency exchange named GORECOIN, using the Ethereum brand to deceive visitors into believing it is legitimate. Threat actors often create similar domains to harvest sensitive data under false pretenses, particularly targeting users who may not verify the authenticity of the webpage. PhishDestroy identifies that gorecoin.com was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and went live on April 23, 2026. As of this report, VirusTotal detected 0 out of 95 security engines flagging the domain, indicating it remains unflagged despite its malicious intent. The domain resolves to IP address 172.67.167.10 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy, further increasing the risk of successful deception. If you visited gorecoin.com, do not enter any personal or financial information. Immediately change passwords associated with your cryptocurrency accounts and enable two-factor authentication. Run a full antivirus scan to check for potential malware. Report this domain to your cybersecurity team or local authorities to help prevent further exploitation. Stay vigilant and verify URLs carefully before interacting with any online services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260427-D5A9A8 Favicon MD5: 4756be9192e8afd9faae6b0aa37afbe6 TLS cert SHA-256: 8261380c290e2ebaab74d01861271e5643a153187cf8f5b494653a583c4e2d60 ## 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/gorecoin.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gorecoin.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
