Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc. Nameservers: dahlia.ns.cloudflare.com, hugh.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2014-03-30 Page title: Metamask® Extension® - Browser extension for chrome | us ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-04-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a438a4e073260fcc8ef4463db227800d90eab44bfa4f612ea36a7c2ff690881b Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - gitbook.io ## 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: 2014-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-07 15:07:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-13 06:00:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-22 06:05:57 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019af95a-9e7b-76de-ae25-d709a753cc06/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:24:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io as a high-risk phishing domain impersonating the popular MetaMask brand. This domain was flagged for engaging in social engineering tactics designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the legitimate MetaMask browser extension. Such deception places users at risk of losing sensitive credentials or cryptocurrency assets. This phishing site mimicked MetaMask’s identity, presenting a convincing yet fraudulent page titled “Metamask® Extension® - Browser extension for chrome | us.” By exploiting trust in the MetaMask brand, cybercriminals aimed to trick visitors into installing fake extensions or divulging private keys and passwords. The domain appeared on multiple security blocklists and was flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering. VirusTotal reports 14 out of 95 security vendors detected malicious activity associated with this domain. Though registered since 2014 via Cloudflare, Inc., the site has been taken offline, mitigating further immediate risk. If you visited meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io, it is crucial to assess whether you entered any personal or wallet-related information. Change any credentials or passwords possibly shared and review your cryptocurrency wallet for unauthorized transactions. Enabling two-factor authentication on your accounts and regularly updating software can strengthen your defenses. Always download MetaMask extensions and apps directly from official sources. For ongoing protection and more information, users should consult PhishDestroy’s resources and remain vigilant against similar brand impersonation threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 1f5551c35bc04b8a6c6ebd16748e6a65d9af7d56508969acf004ccc49566650c TLS cert SHA-256: a438a4e073260fcc8ef4463db227800d90eab44bfa4f612ea36a7c2ff690881b ## 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/meramsckxtnn.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meramsckxtnn.gitbook.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.
