# PhishDestroy threat dossier — submit-moonshot.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-21 20:35:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/submit-moonshot.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Moonshot ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Ermes, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos URLQuery: 4 detections Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: Porkbun LLC Nameservers: ["chelsea.ns.cloudflare.com", "tim.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-12 Page title: Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 9805a88f588bce14d372aef55d3632aeb693c68bb9146da1c5152eb97cc4c607 ## 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: 2026-04-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-12 19:12:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-12 16:12:35 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 23:02:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-21 22:02:13 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/019d8275-b60f-7628-a052-a00242662baf/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/97203b8a-181b-4bfb-834f-4a07602a974c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/submit-moonshot.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.submit-moonshot.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=submit-moonshot.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/submit-moonshot.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/submit-moonshot.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-12 19:12:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies submit-moonshot.com as an active brand-impersonation domain targeting Moonshot. This domain mimics the legitimate Moonshot brand to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency. No drainer kit has been directly observed in the available telemetry, but the domain’s behavior and infrastructure align with typical drainer-as-a-service operations observed in recent campaigns. Domain analysis reveals several red flags: the domain utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, resolving to IP 188.114.97.3. It was registered on February 12, 2026 through Porkbun LLC, a registrar known for accommodating high-risk domains. VirusTotal currently reports 0/95 detection engines flagging the domain, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious. Additionally, submit-moonshot.com appears on two public blocklists and is blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, suggesting early-stage recognition by security vendors. Currently, this domain remains active and under investigation by security teams. Immediate defensive actions include blocking the domain at the network and DNS levels, and flagging the associated IP (188.114.97.3) for further scrutiny. While the current risk is elevated due to the domain’s active status and impersonation tactics, the lack of detections on VirusTotal and recent creation date indicate an emerging threat rather than a widespread campaign. Users are advised to avoid this domain entirely and report any related incidents to their security teams. Remaining risk is moderate pending further intelligence and takedown efforts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 14/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260412-6E65E9 Favicon MD5: c011c4183fccc9e1bd2c1e82d01f63fe TLS cert SHA-256: 9805a88f588bce14d372aef55d3632aeb693c68bb9146da1c5152eb97cc4c607 ## 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/submit-moonshot.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=submit-moonshot.com 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.
