Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, help-app-metahelps.gitbook.io, poses a significant credential theft risk by impersonating a widely used cryptocurrency wallet interface. Visitors encounter a login page titled 'MetaMask* Login* | MetaMask | MetaMask - Blockchain Wallet,' designed to harvest wallet credentials, recovery phrases, or private keys. The page mimics legitimate wallet authentication flows, increasing the likelihood of user deception, particularly among those unfamiliar with security indicators. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on March 30, 2014, through Cloudflare, Inc, and currently resolves to the IP address 104.18.40.47. Despite its long registration history, the domain has been repurposed for malicious activity, as evidenced by detection metrics: 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged it as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, providing a false sense of security to users who may assume HTTPS indicates legitimacy. If a user has interacted with this domain, immediate action is required. First, disconnect any connected devices from the internet to prevent further data exfiltration. Next, revoke any active sessions or authorizations linked to the wallet in question, and transfer assets to a new, secure wallet using a clean device. Change all passwords and recovery phrases associated with the compromised account. Monitor transaction history for unauthorized activity, and consider reporting the incident to relevant blockchain security teams or fraud response units for further mitigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9b9743571363e1c418282349826a157e TLS cert SHA-256: 98c3ab0d3949705387628514c9719db2a8543e8196f364b937d0b020dfc6e074 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/help-app-metahelps.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help-app-metahelps.gitbook.io Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
