## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-02 16:26:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis indicates moonshotrending.com conducts targeted brand impersonation against Moonshot. The domain presents a fabricated voting interface under the title Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot, directing visitors toward likely credential harvesting or fraudulent token promotion activities associated with the impersonated project.

Infrastructure analysis reveals registration through Dynadot Inc on July 01, 2026. The domain resolves to IP 172.67.183.233, uses Google Trust Services SSL, records 7 detections out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, and appears on 3 security blocklists where it is blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL.

Users who accessed the domain should immediately revoke any connected wallet approvals, change passwords for accounts potentially linked to Moonshot services, enable multi-factor authentication, and submit the URL to threat intelligence platforms for continued tracking. No further interaction with the site is advised.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260702-70091A
Favicon MD5:       c011c4183fccc9e1bd2c1e82d01f63fe

## 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.
