972805coinbase[.]com

Analysis of 972805coinbase.com shows a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Coinbase users. The domain was registered on October 27 2025 through Dynadot LLC and uses the nameservers ns1.dyna-ns.net and ns2.dyna-ns.net. DNS resolution points to 199.59.243.228, an Amazon.com, Inc. address (AS16509) located in the United States. No TLS certificate is present, and an HTTP request returned status 200 with the page title identical to the domain name.

The site employed an “Airdrop Scam” phishing kit, a known vector for cryptocurrency‑related fraud. VirusTotal scans recorded nine detections out of ninety‑five scanners, and the domain appears on a single blocklist, currently listed by PhishDestroy. AlienVault OTX reports the domain in one threat‑intel pulse. The report status marks the site as offline, suggesting takedown or temporary suspension, but the observed HTTP 200 response indicates it was reachable at the time of collection.

Defenders should immediately add 972805coinbase.com to web‑filter deny lists, block the associated IP address 199.59.243.228, and monitor for additional domains hosted on the same nameserver pair or IP range. Because the kit targets Coinbase users, security teams should alert users about unsolicited airdrop offers and enforce multi‑factor authentication on Coinbase accounts. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for new indicators that may arise from this infrastructure.
