No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:23:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2025-10-09 09:40:40 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:41:01 UTC (STALE — 43 days ago, re-verify) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 43 days stale) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/0199c7b2-f0a2-7536-b942-dc0278644f3f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/app-monad.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.app-monad.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=app-monad.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/app-monad.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/app-monad.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:19:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified app-monad.xyz as an active phishing domain posing significant risk to users, particularly those involved with blockchain testnets. The site masquerades as the official Monad Testnet platform, enticing victims to engage with fraudulent services under the guise of testing, playing, and building on the Monad network. This deceptive approach aims to harvest sensitive credentials or other personal information, potentially leading to financial loss or account compromise. The domain app-monad.xyz was registered recently on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. It remains active and has been flagged on six separate security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis shows that 14 out of 95 security vendors have identified it as malicious, underscoring its credibility as a threat. The page title “Monad Testnet: Test, Play and Build on Monad Testnet” is crafted to lure users familiar with blockchain environments, increasing the likelihood of successful phishing attempts. Users are strongly advised to exercise caution and avoid visiting app-monad.xyz or entering any personal information. If you have interacted with this domain, change your passwords immediately and monitor your accounts for unusual activity. Organizations should consider blocking this domain at the network level and educating their teams about the risks associated with phishing scams impersonating blockchain services. Reporting suspicious domains to appropriate authorities helps strengthen collective defenses against these evolving threats. ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/app-monad.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-monad.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
