Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/moonwellefi.org/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: aerodrome (and: base, coinbase, compound, discord, ethereum)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Lionic
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US
Registrar:       NameSilo, LLC

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!!
NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about
received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com)
for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our
X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence.
Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket —
NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
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: 2025-09-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-22 01:41:13 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 00:27:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 02:43:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies moonwellefi.org as a confirmed phishing domain impersonating a DeFi platform for lending, borrowing, and yield services. Classified under generic phishing, this domain aims to deceive users into divulging sensitive information under the guise of a secure financial service.

Technical indicators reveal moonwellefi.org is actively flagged on four separate security blocklists and appears in one AlienVault OTX threat pulse. VirusTotal analysis shows 5 out of 95 security vendors detect malicious activity associated with this domain. Created recently on February 21, 2026, its infrastructure and reputation suggest a newly established but active threat actor operation.

The domain remains currently active, posing ongoing risk to users who may mistake it for a legitimate DeFi platform. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any engagement with moonwellefi.org and urges users to verify URLs closely and report suspicious domains to help mitigate further exposure.

## 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.
