xn--monshot-d0a[.]com

On July 24, 2026, investigators observed that the punycode domain xn--monshot-d0a.com was registered on 2 December 2025 through Tucows Domains Inc. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 185.196.8.69, which is announced by AS42624 (Global‑Data System IT Corporation) and geolocated to Switzerland. DNS resolution is served by Cloudflare’s authoritative name servers ian.ns.cloudflare.com and phoenix.ns.cloudflare.com. No TLS certificate is presented; HTTP requests receive a default “Index of /” directory listing, confirming the page title reported as “Index of /”. The site has been taken offline at the time of analysis. Reputation services have flagged the domain.

VirusTotal recorded 14 of 95 scanned engines marking the host as malicious. The domain appears on two independent blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer. No additional evidence of brand impersonation or malicious payloads is available in the current data set. The observed indicators suggest a short‑lived phishing infrastructure that likely targeted users with a generic credential‑capture campaign, as implied by the generic “Index of /” response and the absence of a brand‑specific landing page.

Because the domain is currently offline, real‑time probing is not possible, but the IP address remains allocated to the same ASN and may be reused for future campaigns. Defenders should add 185.196.8.69 and xn--monshot-d0a.com to internal blocklists, monitor Cloudflare name‑server changes, and watch for re‑registration of the punycode label. Continuous feeding of the detection hashes to threat‑intel platforms will improve collective visibility. Until further artifacts emerge, the confidence level for a phishing threat remains elevated.
