ranks-moonshot[.]net

The domain ranks-moonshot.net was registered on March 03 2026 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. It is hosted behind Cloudflare’s network (AS13335) and resolves to IP 104.21.94.203. The authoritative name servers are braelyn.ns.cloudflare.com and jerome.ns.cloudflare.com, and the site presents a valid Let's Encrypt certificate (E7). When accessed, the site issues an HTTP 301 redirect that lands on a page with the title “Index of /”. No substantive landing page is delivered, but the redirect pattern and the use of a generic directory listing are typical of brand‑impersonation campaigns that later serve malicious cryptocurrency‑related content. The domain is explicitly marked as impersonating the Moonshot brand, and the scam type is identified as cryptocurrency. Threat‑intelligence feeds have listed ranks‑moonshot.net on three security blocklists, and it is currently blocked by the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL filters. VirusTotal scans show 2 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 / 100, reinforcing the high‑risk assessment. The infrastructure leverages Cloudflare Browser Insights and HTTP/3, indicating a modern delivery stack. Defenders should add ranks‑moonshot.net to deny‑list rules, monitor DNS queries for the domain, and inspect any outbound connections to its IP address for anomalous activity. Because the actual payload behind the redirect is not publicly disclosed, continuous traffic analysis and endpoint monitoring are recommended to detect possible cryptocurrency wallet hijacking or credential harvesting attempts. The domain remains active as of July 12 2026, so rapid remediation is advised.
