Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] moonpaydesktopapp.live Phishing Site Detected Analysis of moonpaydesktopapp.live indicates that the domain is currently active and was registered on July 22, 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 216.198.79.1 and uses Cloudflare nameservers matias.ns.cloudflare.com and sydney.ns.cloudflare.com. It has been added to at least one public blocklist and was previously blocked by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming its association with phishing infrastructure. VirusTotal reports that the domain was scanned by 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors, none of which raised a detection; however, the absence of flags does not constitute evidence of safety. No public Safe Browsing, OTX, or SSL/TLS details are available for this host, and no page title or HTTP response information has been published, leaving those aspects of the site unverified. The limited intelligence suggests a typical phishing deployment, likely leveraging the reputable Cloudflare network to obscure its true hosting location. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor traffic to the associated IP address, and consider adding the host to internal blocklists. Ongoing observation is recommended to capture any future changes in the site’s content, TLS certificate, or detection status, as the risk level remains under investigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260726-98ED58 Favicon MD5: 01339b86b5f12be2ea2f27d6a9d0056a TLS cert SHA-256: 506f28a7258bdc90beaf7e1e4e1c1063582f726698618b5375dafbb5bce807d6 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/moonpaydesktopapp.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=moonpaydesktopapp.live 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
