## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-02 19:02:29 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-top.trade as a domain actively engaged in brand impersonation targeting Moonshot, with current status under investigation.

This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolving to IP 172.67.149.191. The domain was created on April 30, 2026, and secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate.

Current status remains active with minimal detection coverage, presenting a low immediate block risk but requiring heightened scrutiny. Immediate recommendations include blocking the domain and IP at network and endpoint levels, updating blocklists with moonshot-top.trade and 172.67.149.191, and conducting user awareness training to recognize Moonshot impersonation attempts. Organizations are advised to monitor for any associated malicious payloads or additional infrastructure linked to this campaign.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 1/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260502-8B8D3A
Favicon MD5:       c011c4183fccc9e1bd2c1e82d01f63fe
TLS cert SHA-256:      025e32bc7a58a2da5348c53fcda598408dc56beb36c32c65f3d6922c7e960308

## 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.
