# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hotcoin-cn.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-14 00:39:51 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hotcoin-cn.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 186.2.175.79 (BZ, Belize City) ASN: AS59692 IQWeb FZ-LLC Hosting org: AS59692 IQWeb FZ-LLC Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: pns71.cloudns.net, pns72.cloudns.com, pns73.cloudns.net Registered: 2026-05-31 Expires: 2027-05-31 Page title: Hotcoin 登录｜登录您的 Hotcoin 账户 HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-08-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9bc748ad87193eb1805552159835e23a48c3e9f739b19df0b4c00f3a0468428c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.hotcoin-cn.com ## 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: 2026-05-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 15:18:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-14 00:20:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 18:16:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3793-6248-739f-871d-bccca6f9de80/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hotcoin-cn.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hotcoin-cn.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hotcoin-cn.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hotcoin-cn.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hotcoin-cn.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 15:24:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, hotcoin-cn.com, is flagged as an active phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates the site mimics the legitimate Hotcoin exchange login interface, presenting a page titled 'Hotcoin 登录｜登录您的 Hotcoin 账户' to deceive victims into entering account credentials. No drainer kit signatures have been identified yet, but the domain is designed to harvest login details for unauthorized access to digital asset wallets or trading accounts. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 31, 2026, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., an uncommon future-dated creation that may indicate an attempt to evade immediate detection. It currently resolves to the IP address 186.2.175.79, hosted with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides a false sense of security to visitors. VirusTotal detection remains at 0/95 engines, suggesting the infrastructure is either newly deployed or employing evasion techniques. No entries in Google Safe Browsing or major blocklists have been recorded as of this investigation. The domain remains active and poses a continued risk to users who may mistake it for the legitimate Hotcoin platform. Response actions should include immediate submission to threat intelligence feeds, registrar abuse reporting, and IP-based network blocking. Despite the current lack of detection on scanning platforms, the future-dated registration and targeted brand impersonation warrant high vigilance. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity via official exchange channels and avoid entering credentials on unverified login portals. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1d39ab6bebaae5028cc88485c4781cf2 TLS cert SHA-256: 9bc748ad87193eb1805552159835e23a48c3e9f739b19df0b4c00f3a0468428c ## 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/hotcoin-cn.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hotcoin-cn.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.
