Score breakdown
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The domain was registered just one day ago, which is a primary indicator of a disposable phishing campaign. Our security partners, including Emsisoft, Fortinet, and Netcraft, have already blacklisted the URL for phishing and malicious activity. The site's content perfectly matches a known 'Angel Drainer' pattern that uses fake community voting to trick users into signing malicious blockchain transactions. Furthermore, our intelligence stack identified this as a direct clone of the legitimate moonshot.app infrastructure, used here to harvest unauthorized wallet access.
