# PhishDestroy threat dossier — moonjoin.space ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 13:04:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/moonjoin.space/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Moonshot ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, ESET, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, SOCRadar, Sophos URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Global Domain Group LLC Nameservers: ethan.ns.cloudflare.com, kia.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-22 Expires: 2027-06-22 Page title: KOL – Vote to list on Moonshot ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-09-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8e66d0020f9c4271ab9d0f08f479cdd7fa86397c65dc33ef248de12250374c30 ## 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: 2026-06-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-24 17:08:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-24 15:10:46 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 13:16:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-24 18:19:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019efa2b-c006-77cc-b96c-c4eedcf8fc31/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ca101244-b6d8-45a7-b332-6e61cc969c6c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/moonjoin.space crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.moonjoin.space Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=moonjoin.space AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/moonjoin.space URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/moonjoin.space/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:18:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, moonjoin.space, is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Moonshot, a cryptocurrency platform. Analysis indicates the site hosted a fake "KOL – Vote to list on Moonshot" page, designed to deceive users into participating in a fraudulent voting scheme. Such tactics are commonly employed to harvest credentials, distribute malware, or facilitate cryptocurrency theft by exploiting trust in legitimate brand names. No specific drainer kit was confirmed, but the structure aligns with known crypto-focused social engineering campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 22, 2026, through Global Domain Group LLC, an entity frequently associated with high-risk registrations. It resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been linked to other malicious activities. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, a common but not exclusive indicator of legitimacy. At the time of detection, the domain was flagged by 8 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appeared on 3 distinct security blocklists. No detections were reported by Google Safe Browsing, suggesting either evasion or delayed classification. The domain has since been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, residual threats persist, including potential reuse of the IP or registration of similar domains. Organizations and users are advised to monitor for related indicators, such as the resolving IP or SSL issuer, and implement blocklist updates. Cryptocurrency platforms should alert users to verify domain authenticity before engaging with voting or listing promotions. Continued vigilance is required, as threat actors often rebrand or redeploy infrastructure under new domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260624-48666A Favicon MD5: e90b81b79f7bd365779a5429d0efad22 TLS cert SHA-256: 8e66d0020f9c4271ab9d0f08f479cdd7fa86397c65dc33ef248de12250374c30 ## 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/moonjoin.space/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=moonjoin.space 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.
