startx-metamsk-io[.]pages[.]dev

This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential harvesting site specializing in cryptocurrency wallet compromise. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was specifically designed to mimic legitimate MetaMask authentication portals, enabling threat actors to intercept private keys, seed phrases, and wallet credentials from unsuspecting users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain startx-metamsk-io.pages.dev was registered on October 08, 2025, through Cloudflare, Inc. and resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3, hosted on autonomous system AS13335. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), while detection engines on VirusTotal flagged the domain in 17 out of 95 scans. The site appears on one security blocklist and was proactively taken offline by the hosting provider, displaying a 'Suspected phishing site' interstitial page. No legitimate services were identified in historical DNS records or certificate transparency logs. Mitigation requires immediate revocation of any exposed credentials and implementation of hardware-based authentication for cryptocurrency wallets. Users should verify domain authenticity through official documentation before entering sensitive information, particularly on platforms mimicking wallet interfaces. Security teams are advised to block the IP 188.114.97.3 and monitor for similar subdomain patterns using 'metamsk' or 'startx' prefixes. Wallet providers should enforce mandatory domain verification prompts in their authentication flows to prevent future credential interception attempts.
