xn--monshots-n4a[.]com

The domain xn--monshots-n4a.com is observed hosting a brand‑impersonation page that references Moonshot in its title, “Vote to List — Powered by Moonshot”. Registration data shows the domain was created on 21 February 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. DNS resolution points to the Cloudflare edge address 172.67.188.185, which belongs to AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.) and is located in the United States. The authoritative nameservers are dean.ns.cloudflare.com and priscilla.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming that the domain is fully proxied behind Cloudflare’s network.

HTTP traffic is served over TLS using a Let’s Encrypt certificate signed by the “E7” intermediate, and the server negotiates HTTP/3, indicating modern web‑stack configuration. The site has been listed on two public security blocklists and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer. VirusTotal analysis reports that nine of ninety‑three scanning engines flag the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion of abuse. The current host status is reported as offline, suggesting the operator has taken the site down or is in the process of re‑deployment.

Evidence confirms the use of a legitimate CDN to conceal the true hosting environment, a common tactic for phishing infrastructure. Uncertainty remains regarding the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanism because no page content beyond the title has been captured. Defenders should add the domain and its resolving IP address to blocklists, monitor for rapid re‑registration or new sub‑domains under the same registrar, and enforce URL filtering for any references to “Moonshot” that resolve to Cloudflare‑served IPs. Continuous observation of the associated IP reputation and periodic rescans with VirusTotal are recommended to detect any resurgence of malicious activity.
