[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:27:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

checkerconnection.xyz is currently active and flagged by 3 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal as malicious. The domain is listed on public blocklists, including PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, indicating its involvement in phishing activities. Hosted on IP 104.21.50.61 and registered with Unstoppable Domains Inc., it uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1.

The domain aims to deceive users by impersonating MetaMask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet service. This tactic is designed to harvest sensitive user credentials and potentially gain unauthorized access to cryptocurrency holdings. The presence of checkerconnection.xyz on MetaMask's blocklist underscores its specific targeting of this brand.

Despite being flagged by several security entities, the domain remains active, posing an ongoing threat to users who may not yet be protected by updated security measures. The registration through Unstoppable Domains Inc. and the use of a reputable SSL issuer like Google Trust Services suggest an attempt to appear legitimate and trustworthy. This highlights the importance of recognizing phishing domains early, as they exploit the gap between domain registration and detection by antivirus databases.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      3f93c9124908a893873c3253f2d0dca7db3151c19110e0921716a59f5df7e481

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
