## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-18 14:38:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies an active brand-impersonation site claiming to be Coinbase at the domain intl-coinbase-inv.com. Victims risk credential theft and cryptocurrency theft if they enter login details or download malicious files.  

This domain was flagged by Phishunt, MetaMask, OpenPhish and PhishingArmy, and it resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. It carries a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and was registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. on May 17, 2024. Security vendors showed an 18-out-of-95 detection rate on VirusTotal, indicating strong but not universal detection.  

If you visited intl-coinbase-inv.com, do not enter any credentials or payment data. Log out immediately, clear browser data, and run a full antivirus scan. Report the URL to your IT team or the real Coinbase via their verified channels.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260518-182516

## 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.
