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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 08:16:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:28:48 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 12:05:54 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:18:58 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed438-f314-704c-ae50-a3deab6dfdcf/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/31c8d869-3912-4bc2-b9ab-19305fcfc6cb Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/moon-shot-vote.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.moon-shot-vote.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=moon-shot-vote.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/moon-shot-vote.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/moon-shot-vote.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:05 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 moon-shot-vote.com as a brand impersonation threat targeting the Moonshot platform. This domain was crafted to deceive users into believing they are visiting an official Moonshot voting site, as evidenced by its page title “Vote on Moonshot.” Fortunately, the domain is currently offline, but its registration history and technical indicators suggest it was purpose-built for malicious activity. The domain was registered on June 15, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, a registrar commonly abused by threat actors. It resolves to IP address 34.111.179.208 and uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate (identified as YE1). Security scans reveal that only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain, indicating low detection rates at the time of analysis. However, it already appears on three security blocklists, signaling that some threat intelligence platforms have recognized its malicious nature. Despite the low vendor flag count, the combination of a recently created domain, a generic SSL provider, and a page title mimicking a legitimate service raises the risk level to elevated. Given that the domain is now offline, the immediate threat is contained, but users should remain vigilant. PhishDestroy advises anyone who may have interacted with moon-shot-vote.com to avoid entering credentials or personal information on similar sites. Always verify the authenticity of Moonshot-related URLs by navigating directly to the official website. For ongoing protection, use PhishDestroy’s domain checker to vet suspicious links before clicking. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-87CD81 Favicon MD5: 2b9f01e339e53dfbffdde0dfb48c3b1f TLS cert SHA-256: 033e7dffb5d86962d42148ca26b6157e5aa08f39babde985e746b1af9e1ebd56 ## 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/moon-shot-vote.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=moon-shot-vote.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.
