CoinBait

CoinBait is an AI-assisted phishing kit (tracked by Google Threat Intelligence Group in November 2025) designed for credential harvesting. It masquerades as a major cryptocurrency exchange to steal victims’ login details. Google’s analysis indicates CoinBait’s development was accelerated using AI code generation tools and that a sample was built using Lovable AI, implemented as a complex React website. The kit includes detailed/verbose analytics-style logging (noted as a potential indicator of LLM-assisted code, including messages prefixed with “Analytics:”) and is described as tracking and stealing data. CoinBait operators were observed hiding infrastructure behind Cloudflare and other trusted services to reduce detection. Google assessed with high confidence that a portion of CoinBait activity overlaps with UNC5356, a financially motivated threat cluster (noted as known for SMS and phone phishing).
