Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
PhishDestroy first observed liveness-coinbase.com on Oct 13, 2026. The hostname explicitly references Coinbase; stored content metadata identifies the same apparent target. The captured page title is “Coinbase Vault”. Stored page analysis classifies the content as impersonation. Current evidence score: 70/100 (critical).
Positive findings are stored from 3 sources: MetaMask, SEAL, and URLQuery. MetaMask and SEAL listed the hostname in the separate external-blocklist snapshot on Oct 13, 2026 at 14:20 UTC. URLQuery recorded 2 detections; no observation timestamp was retained. Additional recorded evidence: On Oct 13, 2026 at 16:44 UTC, VirusTotal recorded 0 detections among 92 engines; AlienVault OTX listed 3 community pulse references (not vendor detections). URLScan captured the page on Oct 13, 2026 at 15:47 UTC.
The collector marked the hostname reachable on Oct 13, 2026 at 15:47 UTC, but did not retain the HTTP response code. Latest classified outcome: unknown; cause stale current evidence on Oct 13, 2026 at 13:44 UTC. Registration records for the domain list NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED as the registrar and Oct 12, 2026 as the creation date. Registration and first observation occurred on the same UTC date. At collection time, the hostname resolved to 178.16.52.29. The stored server header is nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu). The evidence archive retains 2 visual captures from PhishDestroy and URLScan. TLS metadata lists _ as the certificate issuer with validity through Oct 7, 2036; checked Oct 13, 2026 at 16:02 UTC.
The content indicators and 3 positive source findings support the current Coinbase-themed impersonation classification.

Seven Keitaro fingerprints plus a crawler-versus-browser comparison, run from the PhishDestroy scanner when this panel is open.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.
Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
