## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)

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.

live-metamask.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

The domain live-metamask.com is a phishing site engaged in brand impersonation targeting MetaMask, a cryptocurrency wallet service. It poses an elevated risk as a cryptocurrency scam designed to deceive users into disclosing sensitive information or transferring funds under false pretenses. As of the latest verification, live-metamask.com has been taken offline, though it previously operated without an associated drainer kit.

Technical indicators for live-metamask.com show limited detection, with 1 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagging the domain. The domain appears on 1 security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. The creation date of live-metamask.com is recorded as February 21, 2026, though no registrar, IP address, or SSL issuer details are available. No page title was observed during analysis.

Users who may have interacted with live-metamask.com should take immediate safety steps. For cryptocurrency-related phishing, revoke any token approvals granted to suspicious sites and transfer funds to a new, secure wallet. If login credentials were entered, change passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all related accounts. Monitor accounts for unauthorized transactions or signs of fraud. Report the phishing domain to relevant platforms, such as MetaMask’s official support channels, and submit the URL to threat-sharing services like PhishTank or Google Safe Browsing.

## 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.
