ranks-moonshot[.]org

The domain ranks-moonshot.org was registered on 26 February 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is currently classified as a high‑risk brand‑impersonation campaign targeting the Moonshot brand. The incident is active as of 12 July 2026, identified by seed e39b18, and is listed on three public security blocklists. Early indicators show the site is being used to lure victims into a cryptocurrency‑related scam.

Technical infrastructure reveals the domain resolves to the Cloudflare address 172.67.172.251, belonging to AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) and geolocated to the United States. The site presents a valid Let’s Encrypt certificate (E7) and uses Cloudflare services, including Browser Insights and HTTP/3. Authoritative nameservers are braden.ns.cloudflare.com and lina.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s DNS.

Web content returns HTTP status 200, yet the visible page title reads “events‑biockstreet.pro | 522: Connection timed out”, indicating a possible mismatch between the hosted payload and the displayed metadata. VirusTotal analysis flags the domain on 1 of 95 security vendors, and Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100. The site is already blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, reinforcing the assessment of a malicious cryptocurrency impersonation.

Defenders should add ranks-moonshot.org to outbound and inbound filtering rules and monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare IP range. Threat‑intel feeds should be updated to include the domain and its nameserver pair. User‑facing security awareness programs must warn employees and customers that unsolicited communications referencing Moonshot may redirect to this domain, and any requests for cryptocurrency transfers should be treated as fraudulent.
