# PhishDestroy threat dossier — secure-supportcoinbase.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-24 21:21:36 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/secure-supportcoinbase.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 19/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, Mimecast, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.185.159.144 (US, New York) ASN: AS53831 Squarespace, Inc. Hosting org: Squarespace, Inc. Registrar: Squarespace Domains II LLC Nameservers: ["nse1.squarespacedns.com", "nse2.squarespacedns.com", "nse3.squarespacedns.com", "nse4.squarespacedns.com"] Page title: Coming Soon HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 10ef121f6402b4cb5f4482b339f53e86ea5302dcfa2fbb1031b8168fe0037f2b ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-19 12:37:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-24 20:20:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-20 00:23:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-20 02:15:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] secure-supportcoinbase.com: Coinbase Brand Impersonation Analysis as of July 20, 2026 shows that secure-supportcoinbase.com was serving a simple placeholder page with the title “Coming Soon” and was protected by a publicly trusted Let’s Encrypt certificate (YR2). The domain was registered through Squarespace Domains II LLC and resolves to IP address 198.185.159.144, which belongs to Squarespace, Inc. in the United States. HTTP requests returned a 200 status code, confirming the site was reachable at the time of capture. The site was explicitly identified as impersonating Coinbase and is classified as a brand‑impersonation scam. Infrastructure evidence places the domain on three public security blocklists, and it has been blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. VirusTotal scans reported detections from 19 of 91 security vendors, indicating a consensus of malicious intent. The authoritative nameservers are nse1.squarespacedns.com, nse2.squarespacedns.com, and nse3.squarespacedns.com. Current status is offline, and no additional page content or malicious payloads have been observed beyond the placeholder title. Defenders should continue to monitor the domain’s DNS resolution for re‑activation, ensure it is included in URL filtering and endpoint protection policies, and consider sharing the indicator set with threat‑intel platforms to aid broader detection. Given the confirmed brand‑impersonation profile and vendor detections, the domain should be treated as high‑risk until fully decommissioned. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 10ef121f6402b4cb5f4482b339f53e86ea5302dcfa2fbb1031b8168fe0037f2b ## 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 (operator 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-supportcoinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=secure-supportcoinbase.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
