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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 03:18:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies ww25.mailhost.coinbase-support.expert as a brand impersonation phishing domain targeting Coinbase users. The domain mimics official support pages, aiming to deceive victims and harvest sensitive information. It operated under the page title "coinbase-support.expert," increasing its apparent legitimacy.

The domain was registered on December 10, 2024, through OwnRegistrar Inc and resolved to IP address 199.59.243.228. It appeared on two security blocklists and was flagged by seven security vendors on VirusTotal. This suggests moderate detection and confirms malicious intent. Although currently taken offline, its infrastructure reflects typical phishing tactics involving subdomain spoofing and registrar abuse.

Users are advised to avoid interacting with any links or emails referencing this domain or similar variants. Always verify the URL closely when accessing Coinbase services and enable two-factor authentication on accounts. Reporting suspicious domains or emails to appropriate security teams can help mitigate risks. Continuous vigilance is essential to prevent falling victim to brand impersonation scams.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       5a0687ea8c9aa404a7724490f046e30023ec6b5aa81d01ae4f225889a64174f6

## 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.
