## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-06 13:47:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies start-coinbase-en.tem3.io as an active Coinbase brand impersonation scam posing a high-risk threat to cryptocurrency users.

This domain was flagged by 17 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on August 02, 2024, and resolves to IP 188.114.96.3. It carries a Google Trust Services SSL certificate but appears on 1 security blocklist, including MetaMask’s active blocking measures. Google Safe Browsing has labeled the domain as SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, indicating active exploitation for credential theft or financial fraud.

Users should immediately block and avoid this domain entirely. Never enter credentials or financial details on this site. Report the domain to your browser’s security team, security platforms like VirusTotal, and cryptocurrency platforms such as Coinbase via their official phishing reporting channels. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all crypto accounts and use hardware wallets for high-value transactions. Monitor financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Only access Coinbase through verified domains (coinbase.com) and bookmark official URLs to prevent accidental visits to impersonation sites.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0d3fb60340437536bbe06a463d19122c
TLS cert SHA-256:      942b33de262ab9fa6a937bd0dff73091bc8c768e13761aa10e9cd7dd2ce33180

## 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.
