Domain eventually taken down after 1 abuse notice(s). Reports filed: 1 independent abuse notifications First report: 2026-01-28 05:05:35 UTC Days since first notice: 150 (eventually taken down) Methodology: follow-up reports are sent ONLY when a victim re-submitted a re-report via our public form, our monitoring detected the domain resurfacing in SEO/feeds, OR our live-checker confirmed the domain is still technically active and fraudulent. Each report contains: VT verdict, URLScan snapshot, WHOIS, SSL metadata, IP/hosting chain, impersonated-brand evidence, drainer/kit classification, screenshots, and a cryptographic hash of the forensic PDF.

Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain moonnshot.net is identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting Moonshot, a recognized entity in the cryptocurrency or related technology sector. Analysis confirms the domain is currently offline, though it previously hosted content designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate Moonshot branding. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on December 20, 2025, through Tucows Domains Inc. and resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It was detected on four security blocklists and flagged by 1 of 95 VirusTotal vendors. The page title, 'Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot,' suggests an attempt to leverage Moonshot’s reputation for fraudulent purposes. Technologies employed include Cloudflare and HTTP/3, with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. The domain has been blocked by multiple security entities, including MetaMask and ScamSniffer. Given the domain’s current offline status, immediate threats may be mitigated, but residual risks remain. Organizations and users are advised to monitor for re-emergence of this domain or similar impersonation attempts. Blocklisting the domain at the network level and updating endpoint protection rules to include this indicator of compromise (IOC) is recommended. Additionally, user awareness training should emphasize the risks of interacting with unverified domains claiming affiliation with established brands. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-1769576659-moonnshot.net Favicon SHA-256: c69458883ac268cdf60292cb635ae973ac502fcddaf85939f250524a127b7d4c TLS cert SHA-256: 415f5f43eee9f5c272598881a30e778c9df5ab20775b2588bce96c002c182c67 ## 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/moonnshot.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=moonnshot.net 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.
