“Gulfcoinbank”
gulfcoinbank.com is flagged as a high‑risk banking‑phishing site. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on March 9 2026 and resolves to the IPv4 address 198.251.89.220, which is hosted in the United States under ASN 53667 (FranTech Solutions). Authoritative name servers are ns27.asurahosting.com, ns27.my-control-panel.com, ns28.asurahosting.com and ns28.my-co, confirming the use of a shared hosting environment. The web server presents a TLS certificate from Let’s Encrypt (R13) and responds with an HTTP 307 redirect, a pattern often used to forward victims to credential‑harvesting pages. Front‑end analysis shows the site is built with Bootstrap, LiteSpeed, Select2, Modernizr, jQuery and supports HTTP/3, indicating a modern but generic template. The page title “Gulfcoinbank” mimics a financial institution, reinforcing the banking‑phishing classification. VirusTotal scans have identified 15 of 95 security vendors as flagging the domain, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100. The domain appears on three public blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, providing additional corroboration of malicious intent. No public samples of the final landing page have been released, so the exact credential‑capture mechanism remains unclear. Defenders should add 198.251.89.220 and the full domain name to perimeter deny lists, enforce URL filtering for any requests to gulfcoinbank.com, and consider sinkholing the host to disrupt traffic. Monitoring of DNS queries for the listed name servers can reveal additional internal use. End‑user awareness training should emphasize the illegitimate “Gulfcoinbank” branding and advise verification of any unsolicited banking communications before entering credentials.
