digital-coinbase[.]online

The domain digital-coinbase.online was registered on February 21 2026 through Dynadot LLC and is currently offline. It resolves to the IP address 199.59.243.228, which belongs to Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) and is geolocated in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are ns1.dyna-ns.net and ns2.dyna-ns.net, both typical of dynamic DNS services. No SSL certificate is presented for the host, meaning HTTP connections would be unencrypted if the site were reachable. The page title returned from the domain is exactly “digital‑coinbase.online”, matching the domain name and providing no additional context.

Threat intelligence flags the domain as a brand‑impersonation operation targeting Coinbase. Analysis of the hosting infrastructure shows the site was built using an “Airdrop Scam” phishing kit, a known template that lures victims with promises of free cryptocurrency airdrops. Four of ninety‑three VirusTotal scanners reported malicious activity, and the domain appears on three public blocklists. Specific blocklist operators – PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL – have already listed the domain, indicating that major security products are aware of the threat. Because the site is presently taken offline, active exploitation cannot be confirmed, but the combination of a recent creation date, use of a known crypto‑scam kit, and multiple vendor detections strongly suggests a fraudulent intent.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter firewalls and DNS resolvers, monitor for any re‑hosting attempts, and flag any outbound connections to 199.59.243.228. Incident response teams should also review logs for attempts to contact the domain before it was taken down, especially any user‑initiated requests that reference Coinbase‑related services. The absence of TLS does not mitigate the risk; lack of encryption only makes credential harvesting easier if the site were to become active again.
