## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 00:58:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies monzen.xyz as a high-risk phishing domain involved in crypto draining activities. It masqueraded as a legitimate Monad Airdrop page enticing users to claim MONAD tokens, a tactic designed to steal digital assets. Although currently offline, this domain was flagged on multiple security blocklists and detected by 17 out of 95 security vendors in VirusTotal scans, underscoring its malicious intent.

The scam operated by exploiting Wallet Connect abuse, luring victims into connecting their cryptocurrency wallets under the guise of receiving free tokens. Once connected, the attacker’s drainer kit facilitated unauthorized access and transfer of funds from the victims’ wallets. The domain, registered in late 2025 through PublicDomainRegistry.com, resolved to IP 188.114.96.3 and was part of a known crypto phishing infrastructure.

Users who visited monzen.xyz should immediately verify their wallet activity for unauthorized transactions and revoke any suspicious wallet permissions or connections. It is crucial to avoid interacting with unsolicited crypto airdrop offers and to double-check domain authenticity before connecting wallets. PhishDestroy recommends using trusted security tools to monitor wallet safety and reporting any fraudulent activity to relevant authorities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       e873f9999c50719209793c740f012f06728fc85a166fa3a30d285821b4d5aae7

## 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.
