## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:43:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified the domain secure-coinbase-support.pages.dev as a phishing site impersonating the legitimate cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. The threat aimed to deceive users into divulging sensitive credentials by mimicking Coinbase branding and support content. The domain presented a high risk of credential theft and financial fraud given its targeted nature and social engineering tactics.

Technically, the domain was registered on February 21, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., and leveraged Cloudflare's hosting infrastructure. It was flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appeared on three separate security blocklists. Google Safe Browsing categorized it explicitly under "SOCIAL_ENGINEERING," indicating a clear phishing threat. The page title noted by Cloudflare read "Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare," further confirming its malicious intent.

Currently, the domain is offline and no longer accessible to end users, mitigating immediate exploitation risks. Nonetheless, users should remain cautious of similarly styled domains that might resurface. Organizations are advised to maintain updated blocklists and educate their users about the dangers of brand impersonation phishing. Continuous monitoring of domains related to high-profile financial services remains crucial to prevent credential compromise.

## 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.
