coinex[.]run

Analysis of the domain coinex.run indicates a deliberate brand‑impersonation campaign targeting Google. The site resolves to the Cloudflare‑managed address 104.21.32.188, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., and is hosted in the United States. DNS resolution is served by the Cloudflare authoritative nameservers alla.ns.cloudflare.com and sonny.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s edge network. The infrastructure stack includes Ant Design and React front‑end frameworks, Amazon Web Services for back‑end resources, and the presence of HSTS, HTTP/3, and Cloudflare Browser Insights, all of which are typical of modern web applications and may be leveraged to increase perceived legitimacy. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, a certificate authority normally associated with Google services, further enhancing the illusion of authenticity.

The page title returned from the site is "CoinEx," which does not reference Google, but the domain is explicitly listed as impersonating Google in the intelligence feed. The scam type is identified as a tech‑support scam, suggesting that any interaction may involve fraudulent support calls or requests for remote access. Security telemetry shows that 13 of 95 VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, indicating a moderate level of detection across multiple vendors. The domain appears on a single external blocklist and has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy, confirming that it is recognized by anti‑phishing communities. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100 reinforces the malicious assessment.

The site’s current status is offline, which may be a tactical pause before re‑deployment. Defenders should treat coinex.run as a high‑confidence malicious indicator. Immediate actions include adding the domain to DNS‑based blocklists, configuring web‑gateway filters to deny HTTP/HTTPS traffic to the IP 104.21.32.188, and monitoring for any future resolution changes that could signal re‑hosting.
