# PhishDestroy threat dossier — moonshotvotes.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 11:34:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/moonshotvotes.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Moonshot Wallet drainer: Solana Drainer ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Certego, Gridinsoft, Seclookup, SOCRadar URLQuery: 100 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.172.18 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com Nameservers: ligia.ns.cloudflare.com, steven.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2026-12-20 Page title: Moonshot Vote ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-24 13:39:22 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 23:04:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019bef95-7fd8-71cd-85a6-172535728842/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/569a3725-e106-4701-b578-f7ef2a8a14be Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/moonshotvotes.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.moonshotvotes.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=moonshotvotes.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/moonshotvotes.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/moonshotvotes.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 03:35:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies moonshotvotes.xyz as a fraudulent domain impersonating the legitimate Moonshot brand. The site title “Moonshot Vote” was likely designed to lure users into a deceptive interaction, leveraging the trust around Moonshot’s name. This domain falls under the category of crypto drainers, specifically targeting Solana users through an embedded drainer kit, aiming to exfiltrate cryptocurrency assets. Technical analysis reveals that the domain was registered via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com with a creation date of February 21, 2026. Despite its recent inception, moonshotvotes.xyz garnered detection from several security vendors and was flagged on an AlienVault OTX threat pulse as well as appearing on a security blocklist. The domain resolved to IP address 172.67.172.18, suggesting its hosting infrastructure was identifiable and potentially traceable. The use of a Solana drainer kit indicates a sophisticated attempt to compromise user wallets by mimicking the Moonshot platform. Currently, moonshotvotes.xyz is offline, indicating takedown or self-deactivation likely in response to threat mitigation efforts. The domain’s offline status significantly reduces immediate risk, yet users should remain cautious about any communications referencing this domain or brand imposters. PhishDestroy recommends vigilance with domains impersonating known crypto services and advises users to verify URLs before interacting to safeguard against similar crypto wallet draining attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260124-6CABAF Favicon SHA-256: d465172175d35d493fb1633e237700022bd849fa123164790b168b8318acb090 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/moonshotvotes.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=moonshotvotes.xyz 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
