public-metamask-x-login[.]tem3[.]io

Analysis of the domain public-metamask-x-login.tem3.io indicates a high-risk credential phishing operation targeting MetaMask users. The domain was registered on May 6, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3, associated with Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada. As of July 23, 2026, the domain is offline, returning an HTTP 404 status, though it was previously flagged by 17 of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal for malicious activity. Google Safe Browsing classified the site as social engineering, and it appears on at least one security blocklist, with PhishDestroy marking it as blocked.

The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common choice for both legitimate and malicious infrastructure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Cloudflare nameservers (justin.ns.cloudflare.com and val.ns.cloudflare.com) and technologies including Contentful, Node.js, React, Next.js, Express, and Webpack, which are consistent with modern web applications but provide no inherent indication of malicious intent. The page title, matching the domain name (public-metamask-x-login.tem3.io), suggests an attempt to impersonate MetaMask, a cryptocurrency wallet service, aligning with the credential phishing classification. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, reinforcing the domain's high-risk status.

While the domain is currently offline, defenders should treat any historical or future resolution of this domain as malicious. Organizations are advised to block the domain and its associated IP (188.114.97.3) at the network level, monitor for related subdomains under tem3.io, and alert users to the potential MetaMask impersonation threat. No evidence of a specific phishing kit or additional attack vectors is available at this time, and the exact content of the phishing page remains unanalyzed.
