Analysis of web3chains.online shows a confirmed cryptocurrency impersonation campaign targeting Coinbase. The site was registered on December 18, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to IP 198.251.89.220, which is allocated to AS53667 FranTech Solutions in the United States. The hosting stack reports LiteSpeed web server, Alpine.js front‑end framework, Smartsupp live‑chat widget, and support for HTTP/3. DNS is served by ns27.asurahosting.com, ns27.my-control-panel.com, ns28.asurahosting.com and ns28.my-co.
The site presented the page title "Home - Web3-chains - A crypto buy and sell marketplace," consistent with a crypto‑buy‑sell marketplace narrative, and the SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt (R12). Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, indicating no reputational value. VirusTotal recorded two detections out of 93 scanning engines, confirming malicious classification. The domain is currently listed on four security blocklists and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy, Polkadot, Enkrypt, and Codeesura.
Although the site is presently offline, the infrastructure footprint remains usable for future campaigns. Defenders should immediately add web3chains.online and its resolving IP 198.251.89.220 to network deny lists, enforce URL filtering for the observed page title, and monitor the associated nameservers for any re‑registration activity. Continuous observation of Let’s Encrypt certificate issuance and rapid re‑evaluation of VirusTotal detections are recommended to catch potential re‑hosting attempts.

What we count
Elapsed time from the first stored abuse report to the first observation that the content was unavailable. This does not establish the cause.
What each report contains
Stored outgoing-report records may reference evidence available at the time, such as vendor verdicts, registration data, hosting details, classifications, or screenshots. This page does not infer the exact payload delivered, receipt, acknowledgement, or action by a recipient.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

A stored Cloudflare Radar report is available. The report link alone is not a malicious verdict and does not prove that every network field was captured.
The latest stored checks indicate that the reported content is unavailable; this does not establish who or what caused the change.
