# PhishDestroy threat dossier — investigation-workspace.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 20:20:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/investigation-workspace.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 91/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Google Safebrowsing, Kaspersky, LevelBlue Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 31.76.28.16 (US, Orem) Hosting org: Ace Data Centers II, LLC Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu Nameservers: ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-03-24 Expires: 2027-03-24 Page title: Coinbase - Sign In ## 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: 2026-03-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 18:01:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 20:25:13 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/019f3829-217e-775a-a9ca-2718a4246ddd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/investigation-workspace.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.investigation-workspace.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=investigation-workspace.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/investigation-workspace.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/investigation-workspace.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 18:05:14 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, investigation-workspace.com, is actively engaged in credential theft by impersonating Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange platform. Visitors to this site are presented with a fraudulent login interface mimicking Coinbase's official sign-in page, designed to harvest user credentials. If entered, these credentials could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to victims' cryptocurrency wallets, leading to potential financial losses. The threat is classified as high-risk due to the direct targeting of sensitive financial information and the domain's active status. Analysis indicates that investigation-workspace.com was registered on March 24, 2026, through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. The domain resolves to the IP address 31.76.28.16 and currently holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it may still evade detection by some security tools. Google Safe Browsing has flagged the domain under the category SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, further confirming its deceptive nature. If you or someone you know has visited investigation-workspace.com and entered login credentials, immediate action is required to mitigate potential risks. First, cease all interaction with the domain and avoid clicking any links or downloading files from it. Next, change the passwords for any accounts that may have been exposed, starting with the Coinbase account and any other platforms where the same credentials were reused. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts to add an additional layer of security. Monitor account activity closely for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious logins. If financial loss is suspected, report the incident to relevant financial institutions and consider filing a report with local cybercrime authorities to aid in tracking and mitigating the threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: a0c1573258654c3ed82919ed505fb1a2 ## 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/investigation-workspace.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=investigation-workspace.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.
