xn--moonshts-6sb[.]com

Analysis as of July 23 2026 indicates that the domain xn--moonshts-6sb.com is being used for a brand‑impersonation operation that claims to represent Moonshot. The domain was registered on February 21 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is served by Cloudflare nameservers dean.ns.cloudflare.com and priscilla.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to the IP address 172.67.197.9, which belongs to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. and is geolocated in the United States. The site does not present an SSL/TLS certificate, meaning HTTPS connections would be terminated without encryption, a pattern sometimes observed in quickly deployed malicious pages. The only visible page title retrieved from public scans reads “Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot,” which aligns with the declared brand target of Moonshot and reinforces the impersonation narrative.

VirusTotal scans show that 7 of 93 security vendors have flagged the domain, providing an early indication of malicious intent. Independent blocklist services PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer have both added the domain to their phishing or scam listings, and the domain appears on two additional security blocklists, further corroborating its abusive nature. No additional technical artefacts such as malicious payloads, command‑and‑control endpoints, or credential‑stealing forms have been publicly disclosed, leaving the exact content of the site uncertain beyond the page title. The infrastructure is currently marked as offline, which may be a temporary takedown or a deliberate shutdown after a short campaign window.

Defenders should continue to block the domain at network perimeters, update DNS filtering policies, and monitor for any re‑registration or reuse of the same IP address or Cloudflare nameservers. Ongoing observation of VirusTotal and blocklist status is recommended to capture any resurgence.
