HIGH
PhishDestroy identifies news-Moonshot[.]com as an active brand impersonation threat impersonating the legitimate Moonshot brand. This deceptive domain leverages the recognizable name to mislead users into believing it is an official or affiliated service, a tactic commonly used in phishing campaigns to harvest credentials or distribute malware. The site currently exhibits low detection rates despite its malicious intent, with VirusTotal showing 0 positive detections out of 95 scans at the time of investigation. This low detection rate suggests the domain may be newly active or employing evasion techniques to avoid immediate flagging by security vendors, necessitating heightened scrutiny from users and researchers alike. This domain was flagged during routine threat intelligence monitoring and exhibits multiple red flags indicative of malicious activity. It resolves to IP address 216.150.16.193, a server associated with suspicious hosting behavior. The domain was registered through Realtime Register B.V. on March 23, 2026, a notably recent creation date that often correlates with malicious intent as threat actors favor newly registered domains for short-lived operations. The presence of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate further enhances its legitimacy in the eyes of unsuspecting users, a common tactic to bypass browser warnings. As of this report, the domain has not been listed on any major blocklists, and no trust scores are available due to its recent creation, emphasizing the need for proactive blocking and monitoring to prevent potential compromise. The absence of detections on VirusTotal, despite its malicious nature, underscores the importance of real-time threat intelligence and user vigilance. Immediate mitigation steps are recommended for users and organizations encountering this domain. Block network-level access to news-moonshot[.]com and its associated IP address 216.150.16.193 to prevent user exposure and potential data compromise. Since the domain impersonates the Moonshot brand, notify users via secure channels about the existence of this impersonation and provide guidance on verifying official communications from Moonshot through known, trusted domains and channels. Additionally, report this domain to security vendors and blocklists such as URLVoid, Google Safe Browsing, and PhishTank to enhance collective defense mechanisms. Educate users to scrutinize unsolicited links and verify the legitimacy of websites, especially those requesting login credentials or sensitive information, to reduce the risk of falling victim to this brand impersonation campaign.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with news-moonshot.com — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
news-moonshot.com) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
