These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

The domain coinbaseru.ru is a typosquat impersonating Coinbase, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange. Six antivirus engines (ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ChainPatrol, Chong Lua Dao, Criminal IP) flag it as malicious or phishing. The page title claims to be the 'official Coinbase exchange login' in Russian, and the meta description mimics Coinbase's legitimate marketing language — 'Invest and manage cryptocurrency with Coinbase! Register on the official site, get wallet access and shares.' However, the page has zero contact details (no email, phone, or address), no social links, and loads external resources from Yandex analytics and Google Fonts to appear legitimate while hosting on a Russian IP. The SSL certificate is valid but only 72 days old, a common pattern for short-lived phishing infrastructure. This is a credential-harvesting clone designed to intercept Russian-speaking Coinbase users.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page mimics Coinbase's official website with Russian-language content. The title reads 'Coinbase Exchange — Official Site Login' and the meta description uses Coinbase's marketing language about cryptocurrency investment and wallet access. The body text includes a detailed history of Coinbase's founding and features, copied or paraphrased from legitimate sources to build false credibility. However, the page contains zero legitimate contact information — no support email, phone number, or postal address — a red flag for any real financial service.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 87.236.16.13 (Russia) with a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate expiring in 72 days. The domain loads external resources from mc.yandex.ru (Yandex analytics), fonts.googleapis.com, and references to coinbase.com and app stores, creating a veneer of legitimacy. The IP has a clean abuse score (0/100) but only one abuse report on record, suggesting the infrastructure is newly deployed or rotated frequently.

Domain History

WHOIS data is unavailable, preventing verification of registration date and registrant details — a common obfuscation tactic. The domain name itself (coinbaseru.ru) is a typosquat: it appends 'ru' (Russia country code) to 'coinbase' to appear official to Russian speakers while avoiding direct trademark conflict with coinbase.com. No redirect chains or homoglyph tricks detected, but the impersonation is direct and intentional.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing: ADMINUSLabs (malicious), alphaMountain.ai (phishing), BitDefender (phishing), ChainPatrol (malicious), Chong Lua Dao (malicious), and Criminal IP (phishing). Browser blocklists are currently clean, but the high engine consensus indicates active detection by security vendors. The domain is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a newly deployed phishing site.

Risk Factors
7
  • Six antivirus engines flag the domain as malicious or phishing, including tier-1 vendors BitDefender and Criminal IP.
  • Direct brand impersonation: domain name (coinbaseru.ru) mimics Coinbase with a Russian country-code suffix to target Russian-speaking users.
  • Page title and meta description falsely claim to be the 'official Coinbase site' — a credential-harvesting pattern.
  • Zero contact information (no email, phone, or address) despite claiming to be a major financial exchange.
  • SSL certificate is only 72 days old, typical of short-lived phishing infrastructure.
  • WHOIS data unavailable, preventing verification of legitimate business registration.
  • Loads external analytics (Yandex) and fonts to appear legitimate while hosting on a Russian IP.
Positive Signals
2
  • SSL certificate is valid and issued by Let's Encrypt, a legitimate CA (though this is standard for phishing sites too).
  • Hosting IP abuse score is clean (0/100), suggesting the infrastructure has not yet accumulated abuse complaints.
AI Recommendation
Do not enter any credentials, personal information, or payment details on this site. If you intended to access Coinbase, go directly to coinbase.com in your browser or use the official Coinbase mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Report this phishing domain to Coinbase's security team and your local cybercrime authority.

  • Page claims to be Coinbase.
  • AI analyst tagged this as a brand / clone-site impersonation.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with coinbaseru.ru

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.
