# PhishDestroy threat dossier — mocaupdate.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-27 03:40:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/mocaupdate.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 92/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.54.90 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["becky.ns.cloudflare.com", "elijah.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-02 Expires: 2027-03-29 HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-06-27 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 817ca2ba4414dec29d90f926312ba46383bd39e1edcc3b127df634161d7f243d ## 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: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-02 17:35:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-02 15:05:02 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 04:08:57 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 04:08:57 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. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d4e9c-5969-715b-94fb-c5793785a5e8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f0364d19-48b0-49b0-a0d4-6af209583d8a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/mocaupdate.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mocaupdate.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=mocaupdate.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/mocaupdate.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/mocaupdate.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-02 17:35:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies mocaupdate.live as an active credential phishing domain designed to steal login credentials and cryptocurrency wallet access. The site mimics legitimate update portals—especially for mobile applications or system tools—to trick users into entering sensitive information. Once credentials or wallet seed phrases are submitted, attackers immediately harvest and exploit them to drain crypto funds or hijack accounts. This domain poses an elevated threat because it combines social engineering with fake urgency, such as “mandatory update required” prompts, to bypass user caution. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after appearing on two security blocklists and being detected by MetaMask and SEAL threat intelligence systems. VirusTotal analysis shows only 1 out of 95 security vendors currently detect it, highlighting its stealth. The domain was registered on March 29, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar known for anonymity and bulk registrations. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and resolves to IP 104.21.54.90, a hosting provider frequently associated with low-reputation domains. If you visited mocaupdate.live, immediately disconnect from the site. Do not enter any passwords, recovery phrases, or wallet keys. Scan your device with updated antivirus and change passwords for critical accounts using a separate secure device. If you entered crypto wallet information, transfer remaining assets to a new wallet immediately and revoke any connected app permissions. Report the domain to your browser’s security team or platforms like PhishDestroy to help block future access. Monitor financial accounts and crypto wallets closely for unauthorized activity over the next 30 days. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260402-A8296B Favicon MD5: 170052b6c5d76f4c63d8121c2fe59782 TLS cert SHA-256: 817ca2ba4414dec29d90f926312ba46383bd39e1edcc3b127df634161d7f243d ## 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/mocaupdate.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=mocaupdate.live 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.
