## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:57:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy categorizes meitamask.io as a high-risk generic phishing threat designed to deceive users by impersonating the MeitaMask brand. This malicious domain aims to trick victims into divulging sensitive credentials or financial information.

The domain was registered recently in February 2026 and remains active. It resolves to IP address 75.2.18.233 and has been flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. Additionally, meitamask.io is listed on two security blocklists, underscoring its association with fraudulent activities. The similarity in name to the legitimate MeitaMask platform is exploited to lure unsuspecting users.

Users and organizations are strongly advised to block access to meitamask.io and avoid providing any personal data on this site. Continuous monitoring and updating of blocklists are recommended to mitigate exposure. As of now, the domain remains operational, posing a persistent risk to potential victims.

## 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.
