Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["dean.ns.cloudflare.com", "priscilla.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-22 Page title: Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-04-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3d8788caca1865e6dbbd118ff3e8151feea3cf0e5d226c361c8e12f393a0cb58 ## 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: 2026-02-12 20:34:58 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-26 13:20:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-01 03:17:49 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/019c52e9-ff88-74d1-b4f7-edc31e253739/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/xn--monshots-m3a.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.xn--monshots-m3a.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=xn--monshots-m3a.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/xn--monshots-m3a.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/xn--monshots-m3a.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:39:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies xn--monshots-m3a.app as a high-risk phishing domain associated with a campaign themed around voting, indicated by the page title "Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot." This domain was used to deceive users into interacting with fraudulent content, posing significant risks of credential theft or other forms of data compromise. The campaign leverages social engineering tactics to entice users to engage, thereby increasing exposure to potential harm. The domain was registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and was created recently on February 21, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.146.218, which is associated with multiple security blocklists. VirusTotal analysis flags the domain by 13 out of 95 security vendors, confirming its malicious nature. This infrastructure setup and the domain's registration details align with common patterns observed in phishing operations, indicating a well-organized attempt to exploit victims under the guise of a legitimate voting platform. Currently, xn--monshots-m3a.app is offline, reflecting either takedown efforts or self-removal by operators. Despite its offline status, users and network defenders should remain vigilant as similar domains could emerge. It is recommended to block this domain proactively within security controls and educate users about phishing risks linked to suspicious voting or incentive-based prompts. Continuous monitoring for variants and related infrastructure is advised to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: c69458883ac268cdf60292cb635ae973ac502fcddaf85939f250524a127b7d4c TLS cert SHA-256: 3d8788caca1865e6dbbd118ff3e8151feea3cf0e5d226c361c8e12f393a0cb58 ## 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/xn--monshots-m3a.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=xn--monshots-m3a.app 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.
