No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-30 13:10:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:17:49 UTC (STALE — 55 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 00:05:59 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 55 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 55 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c0ed9-9e13-722d-adad-7c674e15d721/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/90bb0c19-c6e4-4026-9128-3e2c0347320d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:45:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com as a high-risk brand impersonation domain mimicking Coinbase. This threat is significant because attackers use such fraudulent domains to deceive users into divulging sensitive credentials or financial information, potentially leading to identity theft and monetary loss. Brand impersonation targeting a major cryptocurrency platform like Coinbase can have widespread impact on trust and user safety. pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com was registered on February 21, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC and resolves to IP address 198.251.89.82. It was flagged on two security blocklists and marked suspicious by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. Gridinsoft assigned it a trust score of zero, reinforcing its high risk profile. Currently, the domain status is offline, indicating it has been taken down to disrupt its malicious operations. Users should remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain or any related URLs. Always verify the authenticity of Coinbase's official websites by checking the URL carefully and accessing services through trusted bookmarks or official communications. If you have engaged with pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com, consider changing your Coinbase account credentials and enable two-factor authentication. Monitoring accounts for unauthorized activity is also recommended to mitigate potential damage. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260130-D13035 Favicon SHA-256: 4c13d452dd5d49671bd93ca32f2b4f85c78e39b6ab0ad1f38d98ed267f8fd896 TLS cert SHA-256: c4556e0af2b820199d38696f88ec385652834b5f8c8143058a1f784c4409053d ## 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/pop.coinbaseminingfarm.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pop.coinbaseminingfarm.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.
