# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kuqoin-lgin.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 19:54:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kuqoin-lgin.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 69/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: KuCoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, PREBYTES Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: KuCoin: Log In | 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:31:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:21:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting KuCoin users. Analysis indicates the site replicates the official KuCoin login interface, presenting a significant credential theft and financial fraud risk to visitors attempting to access their accounts. The page title, 'KuCoin: Log In | Sign In,' directly mirrors the legitimate platform, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, an unusual future date suggesting potential domain spoofing or misconfiguration. VirusTotal detection shows 11 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. Technical indicators include the use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, Wix hosting, React framework, Google Cloud infrastructure, and HTTP/3 protocol. No associated IP address was provided, but the combination of these technologies aligns with common phishing infrastructure patterns. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain across all network security controls, particularly web filters and email gateways. Organizations should deploy indicators of compromise (IOCs) such as the domain name and page title string in endpoint detection and response (EDR) systems. Users who may have interacted with the site should be instructed to reset their credentials via the official KuCoin platform using multi-factor authentication (MFA) and monitor their accounts for unauthorized transactions. Security teams should review logs for connections to kuqoin-lgin.wixstudio.com and correlate with authentication attempts or anomalous login behavior. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kuqoin-lgin.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kuqoin-lgin.wixstudio.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
