# PhishDestroy threat dossier — moonbirds.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 19:20:42 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/moonbirds.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 63/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar, URLQuery Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 88.223.85.211 (US, Boston) ASN: ASAS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited 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: ns1.dns-parking.com, ns2.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-29 Page title: Birb Website HTTP response: 530 ## 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: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-31 15:44:20 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 19:00:50 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/019c1462-a97f-705c-8217-e4b4d2d54bc6/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/moonbirds.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.moonbirds.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=moonbirds.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/moonbirds.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/moonbirds.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:26:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies moonbirds.finance as a medium-risk phishing domain primarily used for generic phishing attacks. Although the site is currently taken offline, its previous activity posed a threat to users by attempting to deceive victims through fraudulent means. The domain moonbirds.finance was created on February 21, 2026, and registered via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolved to the IP address 88.223.85.211 and was flagged on two security blocklists. Additionally, VirusTotal detection engines flagged this domain by 7 out of 95 participating security vendors, indicating a moderate level of concern. The page title 'Birb Website' suggests a possible attempt to appear legitimate or thematic to lure unsuspecting users. Mitigation efforts are currently effective since the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk. Users and security professionals are advised to remain cautious and avoid interaction with this domain if encountered, as the infrastructure indicates past phishing activity. Continuous monitoring and updating of blocklists are recommended to prevent future exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260131-A7DCD3 Favicon SHA-256: bc0d7d1694f476ef9bb686adf7375e953fb57f82e973138c6809fefe8d916937 ## 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/moonbirds.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=moonbirds.finance 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.
