## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-05 21:00:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Is moonpay.co.in Used for Brand Impersonation Attacks?

moonpay.co.in is currently under investigation for potential brand impersonation attacks targeting users seeking legitimate financial or cryptocurrency services. This domain closely resembles a well-known brand name, which may be used to deceive users and harvest sensitive information such as login credentials or financial details. The threat primarily revolves around the risk of credential theft and unauthorized account access resulting from successful impersonation.

Technical analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 147.93.31.70 and remains active at the time of reporting. The domain was registered through GoDaddy and has a creation date of May 14, 2026. According to VirusTotal analysis, there are currently 0 out of 95 engines flagging this domain, indicating it is not yet detected on major blocklists. No additional blocklist coverage has been observed. The domain's recent registration and lack of detection suggest it may be early in its lifecycle or not yet widely distributed.

Users who have interacted with moonpay.co.in are advised to immediately discontinue use and avoid entering any sensitive information on the site. Those who have already provided credentials or financial data should change passwords and monitor affected accounts for suspicious activity. It is also recommended to report the domain to relevant authorities or security teams for further investigation and potential takedown.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f3b382db7eb40f735c1c103ec08604d0aec8e33e16299497bc1823a069afcc27

## 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 (operator 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.
