moonshot-listing-elv[.]vercel[.]app

This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Moonshot, a recognized entity in the cryptocurrency or blockchain sector. The site presents itself as an official voting or listing platform, leveraging the brand’s name and visual identity to deceive users into engaging with fraudulent content. Analysis indicates the threat type aligns with phishing schemes designed to harvest credentials, distribute malware, or facilitate unauthorized transactions under the guise of legitimate operations. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain moonshot-listing-elv.vercel.app is hosted on Vercel Inc.’s platform and resolves to the IP address 64.29.17.131, located in the United States under AS16509 (Amazon.com, Inc.). The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WR1), a common provider for both legitimate and malicious domains. Detection metrics show 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, further corroborating its malicious classification. The page title, 'Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot,' explicitly attempts to mimic official Moonshot communications, a tactic frequently employed in brand impersonation campaigns. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blacklisting of the domain and its associated IP address within network security controls. Organizations should update endpoint protection rules to block access to the domain and monitor for any attempts to resolve or communicate with it. Given the domain’s active status and high detection rate, users should be alerted to avoid interacting with any content claiming affiliation with Moonshot, particularly those soliciting votes, logins, or transactions. Security teams are advised to conduct a retrospective analysis of network logs to identify any prior exposure and implement additional authentication measures for high-risk transactions. Proactive monitoring of newly registered domains under the Vercel platform with similar naming patterns may help preempt future impersonation attempts.
