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: 2025-07-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-14 14:32:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-20 18:18:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:47:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ec632-81d4-7769-8901-90f4b5697db3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/m.metmask.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.m.metmask.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=m.metmask.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/m.metmask.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/m.metmask.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:38:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain m.metmask.top has been identified as a brand impersonation phishing threat, specifically targeting users of the popular cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask. Registered on July 29, 2025, through West263 International Limited, this domain was designed to deceive visitors into believing it was an official MetaMask resource, as evidenced by its page title listing variations like "metamask下载", "metamask下载app", and "小狐狸app" (the Chinese nickname for MetaMask). The site posed a high risk due to its convincing impersonation and the sensitivity of the information it sought to harvest. Technical analysis reveals several red flags. The domain resolves to IP address 148.178.96.67 and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (YR1), which is common among both legitimate and malicious sites. VirusTotal flagged it with 12 out of 95 security vendors marking it as malicious, indicating broad detection across the security community. Additionally, the domain appears on three security blocklists, further confirming its malicious nature. The registrar, West263 International Limited, is known for hosting questionable domains, and the recent creation date suggests a short-lived operation designed to evade detection. As of the latest assessment, m.metmask.top has been taken offline, neutralizing the immediate threat. However, users should remain vigilant as similar domains may appear. PhishDestroy recommends that anyone who may have interacted with this site should immediately change their MetaMask credentials and enable two-factor authentication. Always verify URLs by checking official sources and avoid downloading wallet applications from third-party sites. The proactive takedown of this domain demonstrates effective collaboration between security researchers and hosting providers, but continuous user education remains the best defense against such phishing campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 2c3a6f36227a17062e30d45d9b5df8932df68ae57abf9d6ca1e2c2d1c18e8776 ## 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/m.metmask.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=m.metmask.top 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.
