# PhishDestroy threat dossier — io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 01:43:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Kaspersky, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Google Safe Browsing: FLAGGED ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: ["sasha.ns.cloudflare.com", "felipe.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-11 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 666228a39d802f4b94b401fb651582308cc108433c6b113bb54de868cf5b515a ## 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 detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 08:12:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-03 03:22:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b985c-d5a7-778b-9a50-d55c4e13e672/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:44:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev as a high-risk phishing domain targeting MetaMask users. This domain was designed to impersonate MetaMask, aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information such as wallet credentials. Brand impersonation attacks like this pose significant dangers, as compromised credentials can lead to financial loss and identity theft. The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and registered through Cloudflare, Inc. It resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The site was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering, and it appeared on three prominent security blocklists. Additionally, 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detected malicious activity associated with this domain. The site presented a page titled "Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare," indicating that protective measures were in place, and the domain is now offline. Users are strongly advised to avoid visiting io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev or providing any personal or financial information if previously accessed. It is critical to verify URLs before interacting with cryptocurrency wallets and to use official sources only. Enabling multi-factor authentication and keeping security solutions current can further reduce risk. In case of any suspicion of credential compromise, users should immediately change passwords and monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 666228a39d802f4b94b401fb651582308cc108433c6b113bb54de868cf5b515a ## 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/io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=io-metamask-pages-ext.pages.dev 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.
