h5[.]coinbese[.]cc

The domain h5.coinbese.cc was registered on 2025-01-04 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and resolves to the IPv4 address 154.222.24.167, which is announced by AS401701 belonging to Cognetcloud Inc. in Hong Kong. The authoritative nameservers a5.share-dns.com and b5.share-dns.net are typical of shared DNS services, suggesting the operator leveraged inexpensive hosting. No TLS certificate is presented; the site serves only HTTP, which is consistent with the lack of an SSL certificate in the intelligence. The page title returned by the server is "coinbase", directly mirroring the target brand, and the domain is explicitly listed as impersonating Coinbase.

Google Safe Browsing classifies the URL as social engineering, and one security blocklist has already flagged the host. VirusTotal reports that 16 of 95 scanning engines have identified the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion. The site was identified as a crypto‑scam and has been taken offline, with PhishDestroy confirming the takedown.

While the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanism has not been captured, the convergence of brand impersonation, malicious detection counts, and hosting characteristics indicate a high‑risk threat. Defenders should add the IP address 154.222.24.167 and the domain h5.coinbese.cc to block lists, monitor DNS queries for the associated nameservers, and enforce outbound filtering for HTTP traffic to unknown crypto‑related URLs. Continuous observation of the registrar Gname.com Pte. Ltd. for further abusive registrations is also advised.
