# PhishDestroy threat dossier — artemismoon.space
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-04-22 14:20:05 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/artemismoon.space/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 81/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Impersonation
Targeted brand: Base

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Seclookup

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      2.57.91.6 (LT, Vilnius)
ASN:             AS47583 Hostinger International Limited
Hosting org:     Hostinger International Limited
Registrar:       HOSTINGER operations, UAB
Nameservers:     atlas.dns-parking.com, hyperion.dns-parking.com
Registered:      2026-04-17
Page title:      $ARTEMIS — The Moon Mission Memecoin on Base

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-18 00:23:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 21:23:33 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-04-22 07:40:16 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 00:27:24 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-18 00:24:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

ArtemisMoon.space is an active domain involved in a brand impersonation campaign specifically targeting the Base ecosystem. The domain presents itself as related to a memecoin named $ARTEMIS, using the page title "$ARTEMIS — The Moon Mission Memecoin on Base" to deceive users into believing it is affiliated with the legitimate Base brand. Currently, the risk level is marked as under investigation, reflecting ongoing monitoring efforts.

This domain was registered on March 31, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a known registrar. It resolves to the IP address 2.57.91.6 and is secured by a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, lending it a deceptive appearance of legitimacy. Importantly, ArtemisMoon.space has not been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registering 0 detections at present, which suggests that conventional AV and malware detection engines have yet to identify malicious components. There are no current blocklist entries or negative trust scores associated with this domain, increasing the risk of unsuspecting users being targeted.

Given the domain’s active status and the impersonation of the Base brand related to cryptocurrency and memecoin projects, users and organizations interacting with Base or related communities should exercise caution. It is recommended to avoid engaging with this domain, verify URLs carefully, and be vigilant for phishing attempts that might request credentials or sensitive financial information. Security teams should consider monitoring network traffic for connections to IP 2.57.91.6 and ensure endpoint protection signatures remain up to date. Continued observation is crucial, as this domain remains under investigation and may evolve or escalate its threat posture.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260417-C0859A
Favicon MD5:       f8cf91bbe0ecfca33818b50dbc98fd86

## 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.
