Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is kucoinpro.cc a Phishing Scam? Analysis indicates that the domain kucoinpro.cc was registered through Dominet (HK) Limited and first observed on February 24, 2026. The authoritative name servers are ns7.alidns.com and ns8.alidns.com, and DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 18.239.36.56. VirusTotal records show that 15 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain, demonstrating a moderate level of consensus among scanning engines. The domain is listed on three public blocklists and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL filtering services, confirming that multiple threat‑intelligence feeds consider it malicious. The available intelligence does not include details on SSL certificate status, HTTP response codes, page title, or any observed payload. No evidence of HTTPS usage or certificate transparency logs has been reported, and attempts to retrieve HTTP headers have not been documented, leaving the transport security characteristics uncertain. Consequently, the precise content served by the site remains unverified, and the exact phishing vector cannot be described beyond the generic classification provided. Nevertheless, the convergence of registrar information, detection counts, blocklist presence, and active blocking by reputable anti‑phishing platforms provides sufficient evidence for defenders to treat kucoinpro.cc as a high‑risk indicator. Defensive actions should include adding the domain and its resolving IP address to inbound and outbound deny lists across firewalls, DNS resolvers, and proxy appliances. Security teams should also ensure that endpoint protection solutions that integrate VirusTotal or similar multi‑engine verdicts are updated to reflect the 15 positive detections. Monitoring for any new sub‑domains under the same registrar or name‑server pair is advisable, as threat actors frequently expand infrastructure in short timeframes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260728-F8E0A9 Favicon MD5: 0d7feda020772da8686a371ad1f3a930 TLS cert SHA-256: 40962907c5ec1568876b81dfec4df8b762914a7d22aef6d8e5021009b9b4fcc1 ## 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/kucoinpro.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kucoinpro.cc 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.
