TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

AlienVault OTX:  5 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      194.15.112.194 (CZ, Brno-Vinohrady)
ASN:             AS213354 INTERNATIONAL HOSTING SOLUTIONS LLP
Hosting org:     International Hosting Solutions
Registrar:       NameCheap, Inc.

HTTP response:   200

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / YR1
Expires:    2026-10-17
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 4086c561d24ff728c201efae33f3fbd852f425cca5b16188769a89cc5bf008b4

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-26 06:53:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-28 08:20:26 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-26 12:00:51 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

[Generated: 2026-07-26 06:54:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

moonsand.store Safety Check — Phishing Campaign Detected

Analysis of moonsand.store as of July 26, 2026 indicates that the domain remains active and is being used in a generic phishing campaign. Registration data shows the domain was purchased through NameCheap, Inc., and the authoritative name servers are dns1.registrar-servers.com and dns2.registrar-servers.com. The HTTP response for the root URL is a 301 redirect, suggesting the site may be forwarding visitors to a secondary location that hosts the malicious payload.

The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and is also flagged by the PhishDestroy feed, confirming that at least one external mitigation service has taken it down or is actively blocking traffic to it. VirusTotal scans have returned 18 positive detections out of 91 submitted scans, demonstrating that multiple anti‑malware engines have identified the site as malicious. No additional infrastructure details such as hosting IP, ASN, or SSL certificate information are available in the current intelligence set, leaving the exact server location and any associated infrastructure unverified.

The lack of further public metadata limits the ability to map the full attack surface, but the existing evidence is sufficient to classify the domain as high‑risk. Defenders should block moonsand.store at the DNS or proxy level, update intrusion detection signatures to include the known redirect pattern, and monitor for any traffic that may attempt to resolve the domain's name servers. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as changes to the hosting environment or additional detections could alter the threat profile.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4086c561d24ff728c201efae33f3fbd852f425cca5b16188769a89cc5bf008b4

## 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.
