# PhishDestroy threat dossier — meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 11:39:05 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Page title: MetaMask Wallet®® | Extension for Chrome, Firefox, & Brave ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - wixstudio.com ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-12 13:33:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 13:33:52 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 00:18:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ebb9a-ae85-714c-83e8-cd5e58acf3ee/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:16:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting MetaMask, a widely used cryptocurrency wallet. The site presents itself as an official browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Brave, aiming to deceive users into downloading malicious software or disclosing sensitive credentials. Analysis indicates this is a deliberate attempt to exploit trust in the MetaMask brand for fraudulent purposes. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple indicators of malicious activity. The domain is detected by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on 5 security blocklists, and currently resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118. It was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for apparent legitimacy. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0 out of 100, further confirming its fraudulent nature. Technologies detected include Wix, React, Google Cloud, Lodash, HSTS, Google Cloud CDN, and HTTP/3, which are consistent with modern phishing infrastructure. The page title explicitly mimics MetaMask branding, reinforcing the impersonation attempt. Mitigation against this specific threat type requires immediate action from both users and security teams. Users should avoid interacting with the domain, particularly downloading any purported browser extensions. Security teams are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP (34.144.206.118) at the network level, and monitor for any residual connections. Given the domain's presence on multiple blocklists, including those maintained by MetaMask and other security entities, organizations should verify their endpoint protection systems are updated to recognize this threat. Cryptocurrency users should be educated on verifying official download sources and recognizing impersonation tactics in extension marketplaces. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meta-chromextension.wixstudio.com 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.
