# PhishDestroy threat dossier — welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-08 20:14:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: KuCoin ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 10/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, LevelBlue, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Seclookup, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.18.36.248 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Webflow Registered: 2026-03-22 Page title: KuCoin: Sign-in | Access Your Crypto Portfolio* ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7a8af12ada487338539828a8ac452792592191dbe2fd07588c8ea169cf936077 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - webflow.io ## 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: 2026-03-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-22 15:50:04 UTC — PREDATES WHOIS; likely from a prior registration of the same name (dropped-domain re-registration) Last verified: 2026-05-06 19:49:10 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:16:30 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/019d1596-8f52-7067-86bc-e1818a2b7ac2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:13:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io as an active high-risk phishing domain designed to steal user credentials or sensitive information. This type of generic phishing attack poses significant danger by impersonating trusted services to deceive victims and compromise their accounts. The domain resolves to the IP address 104.18.36.248 and has been flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, confirming its malicious intent. The use of the webflow.io hosting platform suggests an attempt to leverage legitimate infrastructure to evade detection and instill trust. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain, especially refraining from entering any login credentials or personal data. Security measures such as updating antivirus software, enabling multi-factor authentication, and reporting suspicious emails or links can help prevent compromise. Vigilance is essential to staying safe from phishing threats like those associated with welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1f894f487d068a2ced95d5cd4f88598c TLS cert SHA-256: 7a8af12ada487338539828a8ac452792592191dbe2fd07588c8ea169cf936077 ## 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/welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=welcome-kucoiin-io-cdn-auth.webflow.io 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.
