# PhishDestroy threat dossier — smartchainnode.site ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 04:06:33 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/smartchainnode.site/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: coinbase (and: coinbase wallet, ledger, metamask, trust wallet) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 5 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 82.29.189.219 (GB, Manchester) ASN: ASAS47583 AS-HOSTINGER Hostinger International Limited, CY Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Decentralized Dapps - We are unifying Web3 by providing best-in-class, self-custodial, and multichain support ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: WR1 Status: INVALID chain ## 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 23:21:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 07:40:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-22 02:23:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01994e08-446c-70bf-bcd8-3170dca786df/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/smartchainnode.site crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.smartchainnode.site Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=smartchainnode.site AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/smartchainnode.site URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/smartchainnode.site/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 01:00:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies smartchainnode.site as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Coinbase. While the risk level is assessed as low, the domain attempts to mimic Coinbase-related services, potentially misleading users seeking decentralized applications. This kind of impersonation threatens user trust and may lead to confusion or credential misuse. The domain smartchainnode.site was created recently on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 82.29.189.219. It currently appears on five different security blocklists, indicating some detection by threat intelligence sources. However, VirusTotal flags only one out of ninety-five security vendors, suggesting limited but notable detection. The page title promotes decentralized DApps and multichain support, aligning with Web3 themes to enhance credibility. Users are advised to exercise caution when encountering smartchainnode.site. Avoid providing personal or authentication information and verify website legitimacy directly through official Coinbase channels. Employ updated security tools and remain vigilant to prevent exposure to potential phishing or fraud attempts. Reporting suspicious domains to security platforms also helps improve collective defenses. ## 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/smartchainnode.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=smartchainnode.site 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.
