# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mailers-coinbase.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-23 10:12:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mailers-coinbase.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Fortinet, Seclookup, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 89.37.173.2 (CH, Zürich) ASN: ASAS25369 BANDWIDTH-AS Hydra Communications Ltd, GB Hosting org: AS25369 Hydra Communications Ltd Registered: 2026-02-21 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: R12 Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-02-26 23:23:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-23 08:21:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-01 12:17:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bfa62-9d1a-707d-a41e-bc55a30d65cd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mailers-coinbase.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mailers-coinbase.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mailers-coinbase.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mailers-coinbase.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mailers-coinbase.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 01:17:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] mailers-coinbase.com: Confirmed Crypto Scam mailers-coinbase.com was registered on 21 February 2026 and quickly began serving a cryptocurrency‑focused impersonation campaign targeting Coinbase customers. The domain resolves to 89.37.173.2, an address owned by Hydra Communications Ltd in Switzerland (AS25369). Network analysis shows the host is currently offline, but historical records indicate the site was actively serving malicious content before takedown. The infrastructure has been listed on three independent security blocklists and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, confirming its role in a crypto‑drainer operation. VirusTotal scans recorded four positive detections out of ninety‑three engines, reinforcing the malicious classification. The site presented an SSL certificate identified as R12; while the certificate details are limited, the presence of a non‑standard certificate aligns with typical phishing deployments that use inexpensive or self‑issued TLS. The campaign leveraged the “Coinbase” brand, a known high‑value target for cryptocurrency scams, and is categorized as a crypto scam in the intelligence feed. No public page title or content snapshot is available, so visual analysis cannot be corroborated at this time. Defenders should continue to enforce DNS‑level blocking for mailers-coinbase.com, monitor the associated IP for any resurgence, and ensure that endpoint security solutions are updated to reflect the four VirusTotal detections. Adding the domain to internal blocklists and sharing indicators of compromise with upstream threat‑share platforms will help prevent re‑use of this infrastructure in future campaigns. ## 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/mailers-coinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mailers-coinbase.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
