================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-28 10:58:18 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/connect.decentralizeddapp.xyz/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Scam
Targeted brand: metamask (and: okx, okx wallet, rabby, trust wallet, uniswap)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
ASN:             ASAS36352 AS-COLOCROSSING, US
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      Guildhall

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R13
Status:     INVALID chain

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-02-26 23:21:01 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-28 12:21:37 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-22 00:24:56 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

connect.decentralizeddapp.xyz Safety — Metamask Impersonation

The domain connect.decentralizeddapp.xyz was registered on February 21, 2026 and is currently taken offline. Automated analysis shows a page title of “Guildhall,” which does not directly reference the targeted brand, yet the domain is classified as a Metamask impersonation and a crypto‑scam based on the supplied intelligence. Two of ninety‑three VirusTotal scanners flagged the host, indicating that at least a small subset of security products identified malicious characteristics.

The site appears on two independent phishing blocklists, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, reinforcing the suspicion that it was used for credential or asset theft. The SSL certificate is identified only by the label “R13,” suggesting a low‑trust issuance, and the Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100 reflects an extreme lack of confidence in the site’s legitimacy. No additional data such as hosting IP, ASN, or registrar details were supplied, leaving the underlying infrastructure opaque.

Given the brand target (Metamask) and the declared scam type (crypto scam), defenders should treat any URLs pointing to this domain as hostile, block network resolution, and monitor for related indicator patterns such as similar sub‑domains or certificate fingerprints. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised in case the domain reappears or new intelligence surfaces, but based on the current evidence the infrastructure should be considered high‑risk and fully mitigated.

## 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 (operator 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.
