## 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)

Last verified:     2026-04-21 08:09:20 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:33:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies help-en-metamask-x.pages.dev as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting MetaMask users. This domain is designed to deceive users by mimicking MetaMask’s branding, potentially leading to credential theft or financial loss. Brand impersonation remains a critical attack vector because it exploits user trust in well-known services.

The domain was registered recently on February 21, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. It has appeared on three separate security blocklists and is flagged by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating multiple detections of malicious activity. Although currently taken offline, this domain’s infrastructure was built to mislead visitors by using Cloudflare’s platform to mask its true origin and evade early detection.

Users should avoid visiting help-en-metamask-x.pages.dev and never enter personal or wallet credentials on suspicious sites. Always verify URLs directly from official MetaMask channels and use trusted bookmarks. Reporting this domain to your security teams or incident response units can help block access at network levels. Vigilance against such phishing attempts is essential to protect digital assets and personal information.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4c4761e3280d977a3c45f88fc97d339d01646dee8f37081d22ca2313caecdfba

## 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.
