## VERDICT

TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: Moonshot

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Tucows Domains Inc.
Nameservers:     ["joan.ns.cloudflare.com", "jose.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      moonshot-token.com | 522: Connection timed out

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:21:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-19 13:10:07 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:13:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies moonshot-token.com as a high-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the cryptocurrency brand Moonshot. Registered on February 21, 2026, this domain was designed to mimic Moonshot's identity, potentially to deceive users into revealing sensitive information or engaging in fraudulent transactions. The domain’s page title indicated issues connecting to the server, reflecting its unstable or offline status.

Technical analysis reveals that moonshot-token.com was flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appeared in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse. The domain used Tucows Domains Inc. as its registrar and was listed on three distinct security blocklists, highlighting its malicious reputation within cybersecurity communities. The domain’s infrastructure and registration details align with common tactics seen in phishing and brand impersonation campaigns.

Currently, moonshot-token.com is offline, likely due to takedown efforts or registrar intervention following its detection. Despite being inaccessible, its prior activity and intelligence signals indicate a significant threat to users seeking Moonshot services. PhishDestroy advises users and organizations to remain vigilant and avoid interacting with this domain or any communications originating from it to prevent potential compromise.

## 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.
