## 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.

Last verified:     2026-04-21 08:12:07 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:44:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies view-chrome-ext-coinbase.pages.dev as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Coinbase users. This domain was designed to deceive victims by mimicking Coinbase’s branding, potentially leading to credential theft or financial fraud.

Supporting intelligence reveals that the domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolved to the IPv6 address 2a06:98c1:3120::3. Multiple security tools flagged the domain: 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors detected malicious activity, Google Safe Browsing labeled it as SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, and it appeared on three separate security blocklists. The page title uncovered during investigation read "Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare," confirming its fraudulent nature.

Mitigation efforts were effective, as the domain is currently offline and no longer resolving. Users should remain vigilant against similar brand impersonation attempts and verify URLs carefully to avoid phishing scams. PhishDestroy recommends monitoring updates on Coinbase-related domains and employing multi-factor authentication to reduce exposure to such threats.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      e32f1bfaaff96fbfbd6dc973020b47a029fc318ee60270d7bf79651aba3c9ed4

## 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.
