TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Impersonation
Targeted brand: KuCoin

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:    2026-06-16 09:01:47 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-06-18 00:27:42 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-16 12:36:12 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-16 09:04:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Threat Overview
kuoxmiologen[.]gitbook[.]io is an active domain posing a phishing threat, particularly targeting Kucoin users with a fake login page. The domain is currently active and has been flagged by multiple security vendors. It presents a risk to users who may unknowingly provide sensitive information.

Risk Indicators
- 17 of 95 VirusTotal vendors flag the domain as malicious
- The domain impersonates Kucoin, a known cryptocurrency brand
- The use of a gitbook.io subdomain may be an attempt to appear legitimate

Technical Details
- Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc
- Hosting IP: 104.18.40.47
- Domain created: 2014-03-30
- Page title: Kucoin Loℊin | Loℊ In Kucoin

Recommendations
- Avoid interacting with kuoxmiologen[.]gitbook[.]io and report any similar domains
- Use official Kucoin channels for login and transactions
- Be cautious of domains with slightly altered spellings or unusual TLDs

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
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 (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.
