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.

imgmonad.xyz Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This report details the technical threat posed by the domain imgmonad.xyz. The site's page title, "[img] Infinite Monad Glitch," combined with its classification as an impersonation scam targeting the brand "monad," indicates it was designed to deceive users by mimicking a legitimate service. The primary threat is brand impersonation, which can be used to trick visitors into providing sensitive information or executing unintended actions under the guise of an official platform.

Technical analysis reveals the domain was flagged by 7 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, and Forcepoint ThreatSeeker. It is registered with Tucows.com Co. and was created on 2026-02-21. The site resolves to IP address 2a02:4780:84:daf2:a69c:52bf:c195:545c, located in Japan (JP) and associated with AS47583 Hostinger International Limited. SSL certificate R12 is present. The domain uses nameservers ns1.renewyourname.net and ns2.renewyourname.net.

The domain is currently DOWN/OFFLINE. GridinSoft trust rating is 0/100, and the DOM risk score is 63, indicating a high-risk profile. Despite being offline, the domain remains a significant threat due to its impersonation nature and registration details, which could be reactivated for malicious purposes.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 7/93 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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 (operator 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.
