# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-06 11:42:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: KuCoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, MalwareURL, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.64.147.209 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc Nameservers: dahlia.ns.cloudflare.com, hugh.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2014-03-30 Expires: 2031-03-30 Page title: Kucōin: Log In | Sign In ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 98c3ab0d3949705387628514c9719db2a8543e8196f364b937d0b020dfc6e074 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - gitbook.io ## 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: 2014-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-06 10:14:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-06 12:30:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 12:17:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f367d-0808-717b-90cf-d37f9d3c143f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 10:55:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io, is actively engaged in brand impersonation targeting KuCoin, a major cryptocurrency exchange platform. The threat type is classified as high-risk due to its deceptive infrastructure designed to mimic legitimate login portals, facilitating credential theft or unauthorized account access. As of the latest assessment, the domain remains operational and unmitigated. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 30, 2014, through Cloudflare, Inc, and currently resolves to the IP address 172.64.147.209. Security vendor scrutiny on VirusTotal indicates that 18 of 95 engines have flagged this domain as malicious, reflecting a significant detection rate. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, and the page title, 'Kucōin: Log In | Sign In,' employs a Unicode character substitution to closely resemble the legitimate KuCoin branding. Technologies detected include GitBook for hosting, Google Cloud for backend services, and Cloudflare for content delivery and security proxies. The domain remains active and poses an ongoing risk to users who may inadvertently disclose login credentials or sensitive information. Immediate mitigation steps are recommended, including blocking the domain and IP at the network level, alerting users to the impersonation threat, and reporting the infrastructure to relevant security teams for takedown. Organizations should also monitor for similar Unicode-based spoofing techniques and enforce multi-factor authentication to mitigate credential theft risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 3e75802359aa6644b6c8bfc277287263 TLS cert SHA-256: 98c3ab0d3949705387628514c9719db2a8543e8196f364b937d0b020dfc6e074 ## 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/kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kucoinwlogn.gitbook.io 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.
