monmonad[.]org

Analysis of monmonad.org shows a newly registered domain created on 23 December 2025 that is actively impersonating the Monad brand. The site resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3, which belongs to Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335) and is geolocated in the United States. Nameserver records point to benedict.ns.cloudflare.com and blakely.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. No TLS certificate is presented, meaning the site is served over plain HTTP, which reduces transport‑layer security and is consistent with many low‑effort phishing deployments.

The page title returned from the host is "Monad Official Site | High‑Performance EVM Blockchain | MON Wallet - Staking," directly referencing the target brand and suggesting a crypto‑wallet or staking service. The domain is listed on one security blocklist and has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service, indicating that at least one external sinkhole has taken action against it. Reputation scoring from Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reflecting a complete lack of confidence in the host. VirusTotal analysis reports that 15 of 93 scanned security vendors flagged the domain, reinforcing the malicious assessment.

Registration was performed through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, a registrar commonly used for disposable or short‑lived malicious domains. Current status is offline, which may be the result of takedown efforts or the operator’s own shutdown. Defenders should continue to monitor DNS resolution for the IP 188.114.96.3 and the associated Cloudflare nameservers, add the domain to local blocklists, and enforce strict validation of any Monad‑related URLs in email gateways and web proxies.
