Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies megamask.io as an active brand impersonation domain designed to deceive MetaMask users. This domain mirrors the official MetaMask interface to harvest sensitive wallet credentials, including seed phrases and private keys. Security teams should block megamask.io at the DNS and firewall levels, as it resolves to 66.96.162.138 and is already flagged by MetaMask’s internal blocklist. Users searching for MetaMask’s legitimate domain should exercise extreme caution, as this impersonation site has been active since July 08, 2022, and leverages a Sectigo SSL certificate to appear legitimate. This domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but critical detection coverage. Registered through ENOM, INC., megamask.io has been formally blocked by MetaMask, confirming its malicious intent. With only one known security blocklist entry, this impersonation site remains a persistent threat to cryptocurrency users, particularly those unfamiliar with MetaMask’s official domains. Its long-standing presence since mid-2022 suggests ongoing campaigns targeting unsuspecting victims. If you or your organization has interacted with megamask.io—whether by entering credentials or downloading files—immediately revoke access to any linked wallets and conduct a full security audit of connected devices. Disable browser extensions that may have been compromised and reset passwords for associated accounts. Report the domain to your security team and consider deploying endpoint protection to scan for persistent threats. Stay vigilant: always verify URLs and use bookmarks for critical services like MetaMask to avoid falling victim to evolving impersonation tactics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 93e8a548e7da4c0cbe981ea2e3e84116ed223a73f1aa5e517ab707d8863832da ## 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/megamask.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=megamask.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.
