app[.]dept-coinbase[.]com

The domain app.dept-coinbase.com was registered on September 04, 2025 through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. Analysis as of July 25, 2026 confirms the site is active and is being used for a crypto‑scam that impersonates the Coinbase brand. The HTTP response returns status code 200 and the page title observed is “dept‑coinbase.com”, matching the registered domain without additional sub‑domains. No SSL certificate is presented, so connections are unencrypted. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 15.197.130.221, which belongs to Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) and is located in the United States.

Nameserver records include ina1.registrar.eu, ina2.registrar.eu, ina3.registrar.eu, josh.ns.cloudflare.com, and ros, indicating the use of both the registrar’s default servers and Cloudflare infrastructure. The site has been flagged by three of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners, and it appears on one external security blocklist. PhishDestroy has already added the domain to its blocklist, confirming that defensive vendors consider it malicious. The combination of brand impersonation, lack of TLS, and the presence of a crypto‑related scam label aligns with the observed activity. Defenders should immediately block the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter firewalls and DNS filtering solutions.

Monitoring of the AS16509 address space for similar activity is advised, and any outbound connections to the domain should be logged and investigated. Because the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, TLS inspection can be applied without certificate pinning concerns. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s status is recommended, as the infrastructure may shift to other Amazon‑hosted IPs or adopt additional Cloudflare nameservers. The evidence presented—registration data, HTTP status, page title, IP ownership, vendor detections, and blocklist inclusion—provides sufficient justification for treating app.dept-coinbase.com as a high‑risk crypto impersonation threat.
