# PhishDestroy threat dossier — update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-29 01:44:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Scam Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.166.152.221 (GB, London) ASN: ASAS14061 DIGITALOCEAN-ASN - DigitalOcean, LLC, US Hosting org: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Registrar: NameCheap, Inc. Nameservers: ["dns1.registrar-servers.com", "dns2.registrar-servers.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-03-20 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: ZeroSSL / ZeroSSL ECC Domain Secure Site CA Expires: 2026-05-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9e11eea7f9ce0d7c2c05d9a362b1f134cd44547a86b5443674e126af394dfa01 ## 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: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-08 14:19:55 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-29 02:53:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 06:12:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c3d8f-4630-738a-bf8a-a3e4cc84333a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2c373fc4-a8fa-4e72-a519-d3352ada9ac5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 18:19:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Coinbase Impersonator update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-w... PhishDestroy has identified a high-risk brand impersonation campaign targeting Coinbase users through the deceptive domain update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net. This domain is currently offline but was actively designed to steal cryptocurrency credentials and drain wallets. The threat is classified as a crypto drainer, specifically impersonating the legitimate Coinbase brand to trick users into surrendering sensitive account information. Technical analysis reveals that the domain was created on February 21, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.166.152.221. It was registered through NameCheap, Inc., and secured with an SSL certificate from ZeroSSL. VirusTotal flagged the domain as malicious by 11 of 95 security vendors, and it appears on three security blocklists. The domain's convoluted structure, including terms like "withdraw" and "verifications," is indicative of a sophisticated phishing attempt aimed at harvesting login credentials and two-factor authentication codes. Although the domain has been taken offline, the threat landscape remains volatile. Users who may have interacted with this domain are advised to immediately change their Coinbase passwords, enable hardware-based two-factor authentication, and monitor their accounts for unauthorized transactions. PhishDestroy recommends reporting any suspicious activity to Coinbase support and running a full security scan on affected devices. Continued vigilance against such crypto drainers is essential to protect digital assets. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260208-8B001A TLS cert SHA-256: 9e11eea7f9ce0d7c2c05d9a362b1f134cd44547a86b5443674e126af394dfa01 ## 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/update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=update.www.fupdate.banetnetcoinbase-withdraw-verifications.netflixconfirmation.net 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.
