# PhishDestroy threat dossier — home-metamask-io.tem3.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-15 06:58:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/home-metamask-io.tem3.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 19/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.96.3 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: justin.ns.cloudflare.com, val.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2024-08-02 Page title: MetaMask Login: Getting Started with Wallet Extension HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-13 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 942b33de262ab9fa6a937bd0dff73091bc8c768e13761aa10e9cd7dd2ce33180 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - tem3.io ## 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: 2024-08-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-06 13:37:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-15 08:37:42 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-09 01:13:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dfcdc-da58-755a-9dd5-b2cad42c77dd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/home-metamask-io.tem3.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.home-metamask-io.tem3.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=home-metamask-io.tem3.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/home-metamask-io.tem3.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/home-metamask-io.tem3.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-06 13:38:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is home-metamask-io.tem3.io a credible domain? PhishDestroy identifies this domain as a high-risk brand impersonation scam actively mimicking MetaMask, a leading cryptocurrency wallet provider. The infrastructure is weaponized to deceive visitors into surrendering sensitive wallet credentials or initiating unauthorized transactions. This campaign leverages typosquatting and visual spoofing to exploit user trust in the official MetaMask brand. This malicious domain was registered on August 02, 2024, through GoDaddy.com, LLC. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and uses a SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services to appear legitimate. Security telemetry reveals a VirusTotal detection score of 17/95 security vendors, and it is flagged on one known blocklist. Google Safe Browsing categorizes the site under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, confirming active malicious intent aligned with credential theft and cryptocurrency draining operations. As of the latest assessment, this domain remains active and poses a persistent threat to users seeking MetaMask services. MetaMask has officially blocked this domain, and security vendors have begun widespread blacklisting. However, the risk remains elevated due to the domain's recent creation, trusted SSL, and ongoing accessibility via alternative routes. Users are strongly advised to avoid clicking unsolicited links and to verify URLs through official MetaMask channels before entering any sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 1a175a2ed3daa908e19c53be01ae7e8c TLS cert SHA-256: 942b33de262ab9fa6a937bd0dff73091bc8c768e13761aa10e9cd7dd2ce33180 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/home-metamask-io.tem3.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=home-metamask-io.tem3.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
