# PhishDestroy threat dossier — pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 09:57:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Google Safebrowsing, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, MalwareURL, SOCRadar, Sophos Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.19.163.34 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["sandra.ns.cloudflare.com", "cosmin.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Coinbase Pro login | Getting Started With Pro Coinbase HTTP response: 401 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-05-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 57446e4c06c731a8682c1274d871c4e393bfdf437e1ffb4f24fbc382e6cbe127 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - wstd.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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-12 19:50:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bcf0f-c453-761e-b24f-55aea28470ce/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 15:04:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io as a high-risk domain engaged in generic phishing activities targeting unsuspecting users. The domain mimics legitimate Coinbase branding to deceive victims into sharing sensitive information such as login credentials and financial data. This campaign leverages social engineering tactics to exploit trust in the cryptocurrency sector, posing a significant threat to end users and organizations alike. Technical analysis reveals that pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io was registered on February 21, 2026, and is currently active. It is listed on three distinct security blocklists and flagged for social engineering by Google Safe Browsing. VirusTotal reports detection by 14 out of 95 security vendors, underscoring its malicious nature. The domain infrastructure supports phishing kits designed to harvest user credentials, with URL patterns and page content crafted to closely resemble authentic Coinbase web pages. Presently, pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io remains active and continues to operate within the phishing ecosystem. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid interacting with this domain and urges network administrators to enforce blocking at the DNS and firewall level. Continuous monitoring and user education on identifying social engineering attempts are critical to mitigating risks associated with this threat. Immediate removal of any compromised credentials is advised if exposure is suspected. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 57446e4c06c731a8682c1274d871c4e393bfdf437e1ffb4f24fbc382e6cbe127 ## 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/pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=pro-coinbase-web.wstd.io 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.
