# PhishDestroy threat dossier — help-coinbase.info ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-30 10:57:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/help-coinbase.info/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam Targeted brand: coinbase (and: wordpress) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar AlienVault OTX: 44 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 84.32.84.32 (LT, Vilnius) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Parked Domain name on Hostinger DNS system ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R13 Status: INVALID chain ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:19:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:19:22 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-30 12:21:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 02:24:02 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a75b1-0134-773e-95de-2045b89e21a3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/help-coinbase.info crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.help-coinbase.info Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=help-coinbase.info AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/help-coinbase.info URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/help-coinbase.info/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-25 10:50:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] help-coinbase.info Coinbase crypto impersonation site The domain help-coinbase.info was registered on February 21, 2026 and is presently taken offline. DNS resolution points to the IP address 84.32.84.32, which belongs to Hostinger International Limited in Lithuania (AS47583). An SSL certificate identified as R13 is present on the host, but the page title returned by the server is "Parked Domain name on Hostinger DNS system," indicating that no active content was observed at the time of analysis. The domain is classified as a crypto scam that impersonates the Coinbase brand, consistent with the known brand target and scam type. Reputation scoring from Gridinsoft assigns a zero‑out‑of‑one‑hundred trust score, and the domain appears on a single security blocklist. PhishDestroy has already blocked the domain, and VirusTotal reports that 7 of 93 scanned security vendors flagged it as malicious. AlienVault OTX lists the domain in 44 distinct threat‑intel pulses, reinforcing its association with malicious campaigns. The combination of a newly created domain, low trust score, multiple vendor detections, and inclusion in OTX pulses suggests a deliberate attempt to lure cryptocurrency users by leveraging the Coinbase name. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms, as the hosted page appears only as a parked domain and no further content has been captured. Defenders should continue to block the IP address 84.32.84.32, add the domain to internal deny lists, and monitor for any future re‑activation. Organizations should educate users about the risk of unsolicited links referencing Coinbase and enforce multi‑factor authentication on all cryptocurrency accounts to mitigate potential credential theft. ## 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/help-coinbase.info/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help-coinbase.info 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.
