# PhishDestroy threat dossier — whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 09:13:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 83/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Coinbase ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Kaspersky, Lionic, Seclookup, Sophos, VIPRE Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 198.18.1.190 ASN: ASAS213725 UK-03AI 03AI LTD, GB Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: carter.ns.cloudflare.com, elle.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2025-01-25 Expires: 2026-01-25 Page title: Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page: It works ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2025-01-25 (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) First reported: 2025-11-13 17:19:23 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-14 07:16:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bd49d-95dc-7635-9d99-e9adf98af875/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 18:22:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This site, whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com, impersonates the Coinbase brand in a cryptocurrency scam. The page title "Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page: It works" indicates the site was either not fully configured or served a default landing page, posing a threat by attempting to deceive users into providing wallet credentials or funds under a false Coinbase authorization process. Technical evidence shows 15 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain as malicious. The domain is registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, was created on 2025-01-25, and resolves to IP address 198.18.1.190. It has no SSL certificate, indicating no encryption. The nameservers are carter.ns.cloudflare.com and elle.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE with a GridinSoft trust score of 0/100. The risk level is high due to active brand impersonation and multiple security vendor flags, though the site is not currently accessible. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 15/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=whitelist-my-wallet-coinbase.com 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.
