coinbase[.]wlsp[.]shop

The domain coinbase.wlsp.shop was observed on July 12, 2026 hosting a site that mimics the OKX cryptocurrency exchange. The page title returned by the HTTP response is “Index - OKX”, indicating a deliberate brand impersonation. The site is reachable over HTTPS with a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate, and the HTTP status is 200. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain was registered through NameSilo and resolves to the IPv4 address 116.204.186.197. The IP is announced from Hong Kong under AS9294 (GNET INC.). DNS resolution uses the ns1.dnsowl.com, ns2.dnsowl.com, and ns3.dnsowl.com name servers. The web server stack includes Nginx serving content built with Vue.js and jQuery, and the response includes an HSTS header. Traffic is delivered via an Alibaba Cloud CDN. Security scanning records indicate nine out of ninety‑five antivirus and URL reputation engines on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, and the site appears on three independent blocklists. Additional defensive services—PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL—have already blocked the domain. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 further reinforces the malicious assessment. While the current evidence confirms brand impersonation targeting OKX users, no additional payloads or credential‑stealing scripts have been captured, leaving the exact phishing workflow undocumented. Defenders should block the domain at the DNS and network layers and add it to internal URL filtering policies. Monitoring for outbound connections to 116.204.186.197 can help detect compromised clients that may interact with the site. Incident response teams should advise users to verify the URL of any OKX login page and to report suspicious login attempts. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as the operator may later deploy credential‑harvesting forms or malicious binaries.
