273981-coinbase[.]com

Analysis of the domain 273981-coinbase.com indicates an active cryptocurrency‑related impersonation campaign targeting the Coinbase brand. The domain was registered on February 11, 2026 through Realtime Register B.V. and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is owned by Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and geolocated in the United States. The site presents the HTTP title "273981-coinbase.com | 521: Web server is down", confirming that the web service is currently offline. Security reputation metrics are uniformly low: Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, Scamadviser a score of 1 / 100, and the domain appears on three independent blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL.

An AlienVault OTX pulse references the domain in one threat‑intel feed, and VirusTotal reports that six of ninety‑three scanning engines have flagged the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is identified only as "WE1", providing no additional confidence in the site’s legitimacy. The available intelligence classifies the activity as a crypto scam, consistent with the Coinbase brand impersonation.

While the site is presently taken offline, the underlying infrastructure—Cloudflare hosting and a recently registered registrar—suggests the operators can quickly redeploy a similar payload. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter devices, monitor for re‑registration attempts, and incorporate the observed indicators (domain name, IP address, registrar, and blocklist signatures) into threat‑intel feeds. Ongoing vigilance is advised given the low trust scores and the presence of multiple security vendor detections.
