Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: ["adi.ns.cloudflare.com", "pete.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: monostax.com ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:24:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 07:49:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01995590-54ca-761e-9b81-ab39275c4485/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/monostax.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.monostax.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=monostax.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/monostax.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/monostax.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:22:41 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 monostax.com as a domain linked to generic phishing activities, though its current risk level is assessed as low. Domains like monostax.com can pose a danger by attempting to trick visitors into divulging personal or financial information under false pretenses. Even low-risk phishing sites should be treated cautiously, as they may lead to identity theft or unauthorized account access. This phishing attempt likely involved impersonating legitimate services or brands to lure users into entering sensitive credentials or personal data. The site was registered through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolved to the IP address 31.43.160.6. Despite only a small number of security tools flagging this domain and its presence on one security blocklist, phishing tactics often rely on subtlety to bypass detection. The site has since been taken offline, which reduces immediate exposure but does not eliminate risks for those who previously visited the URL. If you have accessed monostax.com, it is advisable to monitor your accounts closely for any suspicious activity and change passwords associated with any potentially compromised services. Running a comprehensive malware and antivirus scan on your devices can also help detect any threats that might have been installed. Staying informed and cautious with unsolicited links or unexpected web pages remains the best defense against phishing threats like those once hosted on monostax.com. ## 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/monostax.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=monostax.com 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.
