# PhishDestroy threat dossier — secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 18:28:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 82/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: KuCoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.18.36.248 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: MarkMonitor, Inc. Nameservers: journey.ns.cloudflare.com, lamar.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2013-05-08 Expires: 2028-05-08 Page title: secure--sso--kucoin-web ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-25 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 0dc0be3d837e60b4433d84c67385bdc354bb83307d80c71fb67d87f1beec53c6 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - webflow.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: 2013-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 15:33:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1394-f2c1-7567-8327-5dfae1e5e2d2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 15:34:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk credential harvesting and brand impersonation threat specifically targeting KuCoin, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the domain secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io is designed to deceive users into submitting sensitive login credentials by mimicking KuCoin’s single sign-on (SSO) interface, as evidenced by the page title 'secure--sso--kucoin-web' and the use of KuCoin branding elements. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to the IP address 104.18.36.248 and is hosted on a platform known for enabling rapid deployment of phishing pages. The domain was originally registered on May 08, 2013, through MarkMonitor, Inc., though the current malicious activity appears to be a recent compromise or repurposing of the subdomain. As of the latest assessment, 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have detected the domain as malicious, indicating moderate but growing awareness of the threat. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of legitimacy to potential victims. No widespread blocklisting on major threat intelligence platforms has been observed at this time, suggesting the campaign remains active and relatively undetected by automated defenses. To mitigate the risk posed by this credential harvesting campaign, organizations and individuals should immediately block access to the domain and its associated IP address (104.18.36.248) at the network perimeter. End-users should be educated to scrutinize URL structures, particularly subdomains, and verify the authenticity of SSO portals by cross-referencing with official communications from KuCoin. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced for all accounts to reduce the impact of credential compromise. Security teams are advised to monitor for indicators of compromise (IOCs) related to this domain and investigate any authentication attempts originating from it. Proactive threat hunting for similar impersonation patterns, such as unusual subdomain structures or mismatched SSL certificates, is recommended to identify related threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 93e027afcac0d648c068444f8944526b TLS cert SHA-256: 0dc0be3d837e60b4433d84c67385bdc354bb83307d80c71fb67d87f1beec53c6 ## 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/secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=secure--sso--kucoin-web.webflow.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.
