Is defi-kong.org legit or a scam?
A malicious crypto drainer site registered yesterday that impersonates Coinbase and DeFi Kong to steal wallet contents through fake connection prompts.
Score breakdown
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.

MT Intelligence
The domain was registered only one day ago, which is a primary indicator of a disposable scam site. Our analysis detected clear impersonation of Coinbase branding on a non-official domain, a tactic used to build false trust. The page functions as a 'drainer' by prompting users to connect wallets like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet to a non-existent 'DeFi Kong' service. There is a total absence of contact information, legal terms, or business registration data. These factors combined confirm the site is designed for the sole purpose of asset theft.
