route-pool-h0i6.coin-base-exchange.com is a phishing page that impersonates the Coinbase exchange and targets Coinbase customers. The page presents itself under the title "COINBASE-EXCHANGE", and the parent domain uses a hyphenated spelling of the brand to look official. PhishDestroy first detected it on 2026-10-15. As of 2026-10-19 the domain still resolves, but its page content was unreachable.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages like this copy the look and wording of a trusted exchange so visitors believe they are on the real Coinbase site. Victims usually arrive through links in ads, messages or fake support chats. They are then asked to sign in, enter one-time codes or provide recovery details. Anything typed in goes straight to the operators, who use it to take over the account, change security settings and withdraw funds before the owner notices. The long, random-looking subdomain is typical of disposable phishing hosts that can be rotated quickly.
Evidence
urlscan.io rated the page malicious and identified Coinbase as the impersonated brand. The domain is listed on the PhishDestroy, MetaMask and SEAL blocklists. VirusTotal showed 0 detections out of 92 engines when checked on 2026-10-15, so conventional antivirus scanners had not yet flagged it. The classification rests on the brand impersonation and the blocklist and urlscan.io verdicts.
Infrastructure
The domain coin-base-exchange.com was registered on 2026-10-07 through eName Technology Co.,Ltd., eight days before PhishDestroy flagged it. The site is hosted at 45.119.255.88 on the CyberForest LLC. network in South Korea (KR). Its TLS certificate was issued by Sectigo Limited under the Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36 intermediate. This is a domain-validated certificate, which confirms only control of the domain, not the identity of its owner.
What to do
If you entered your Coinbase email, password or verification codes on this site, go to Coinbase directly by typing the address yourself. Change your password immediately, then reset two-factor authentication and review active sessions and linked devices. Check your recent withdrawals, address book entries and API keys, remove anything you did not create, and contact Coinbase support if funds moved. Never share recovery phrases or codes with anyone claiming to be support. Defenders should block route-pool-h0i6.coin-base-exchange.com and the parent domain at DNS and proxy level, and watch for other subdomains under coin-base-exchange.com.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including route-pool-h0i6.coin-base-exchange.com)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
