No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-16 21:43:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-16 18:43:24 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:21 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d9798-561a-7767-9d41-00f02d067701/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/dcc1c055-2935-4f44-bc8f-462d34488fc1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rugmoon.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rugmoon.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rugmoon.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rugmoon.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rugmoon.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-16 21:45:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified rugmoon.live as an active domain involved in generic phishing attempts. Although no specific brand association or drain kit has been confirmed at this time, the domain’s purpose is to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information through fraudulent means, representing a notable security concern. Technical indicators reveal that rugmoon.live currently holds a VirusTotal detection score of 0 out of 95, indicating it has not been flagged by antivirus engines yet. The domain was registered on April 13, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It utilizes a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. At present, there is no Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status or public blocklist information available, which may be due to its recent creation date. The domain remains active and under investigation, posing an unresolved risk to internet users. Security teams are advised to monitor rugmoon.live closely and implement blocking rules where possible. Users should exercise caution by not entering personal or financial information on any site linked to this domain. Continued vigilance and prompt reporting of suspicious activity related to rugmoon.live are essential to mitigate potential phishing impacts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260416-7CFBF3 Favicon MD5: 8640826b1686f766eb92a4869d1bcbae TLS cert SHA-256: efa52b6aecac394315f79a30df4c20451adddc4bcc419efc7800bdaa47a11bc4 ## 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/rugmoon.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rugmoon.live 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.
