coinbaseku[.]cc

On July 23, 2026 analysts examined the domain coinbaseku.cc, which was taken offline after being identified as a crypto‑related brand‑impersonation site targeting Coinbase users. The domain was registered on August 31, 2025 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and resolves to the IPv4 address 205.198.94.130, hosted in Germany under ASN 138997 (Eons Data Communications Limited). The authoritative name servers are a5.share-dns.com and b5.share-dns.net. An SSL certificate issued to “Internet Widgits Pty Ltd” is present, which does not correspond to the legitimate Coinbase brand, further indicating malicious intent. The page title returned by the site is simply “Coinbase”, matching the advertised brand target.

Scamadviser assigned a trust score of 1 / 100, while Gridinsoft rated the domain 0 / 100, reflecting extreme suspicion. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal analysis shows that 16 of 95 scanning engines flagged the domain as malicious, corroborating the low trust scores. No additional public threat‑intel sources such as OTX or Google Safe Browsing were referenced in the available data. The evidence points to a crypto‑scam infrastructure that likely attempted to harvest Coinbase credentials or lure victims into fraudulent transactions.

Because the site is currently offline, immediate mitigation focuses on updating detection rules: block the domain and its resolved IP, add the observed name servers to threat‑intel feeds, and incorporate the SSL subject and low trust scores into automated filters. Defenders should monitor for re‑registration of similar‑looking domains and for any new activity from the same hosting ASN. Continuous observation of the registrar Gname.com Pte. Ltd. for future abusive registrations is also advised.
