These domains received the same Dangerous verdict from ScamSandbox. Check them before visiting.
What is coinhive.com?
coinhive.com is a website that was analyzed by ScamSandbox on August 19, 2026. Based on our automated analysis across 20 security sources, the domain has been classified as dangerous with multiple high-confidence threat detections across independent security databases.
The domain was registered approximately 5008 days ago through 1API GmbH and the registrant is located in AU. The domain's age suggests it has been operational for some time, which is a positive trust signal. The owner's registration details are hidden behind a WHOIS privacy service, which prevents public identification of who operates the site.
ScamSandbox cross-referenced coinhive.com against the VirusTotal database, which aggregates results from multiple security vendors. No security vendor in the VirusTotal database has flagged this domain as malicious or suspicious, which is a positive trust indicator.
The site uses a valid SSL/TLS certificate issued by Google Trust Services . An SSL certificate encrypts data between the visitor and the server, but it does not guarantee the site is legitimate — scammers routinely obtain free SSL certificates for fraudulent sites.
coinhive.com is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. at IP address 104.18.29.80 . The server uses shared hosting, meaning multiple websites share the same IP address — a configuration common among both budget legitimate sites and disposable scam domains.
The overall risk score assigned to coinhive.com by ScamSandbox is 100/100 (where 100 is the highest risk). This score is calculated by weighing signals from blacklist detections, domain age, WHOIS data, SSL certificate validity, HTTP security headers, content analysis, and community reports.
