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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 13:13:01 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:23:45 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:40:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecafa-baf2-7680-9341-920df2dbbe7f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/51239121-c7c3-4543-a179-544d33a95bd7 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metabridge-vip.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metabridge-vip.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metabridge-vip.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metabridge-vip.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metabridge-vip.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:24:38 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 for brand impersonation, specifically targeting a well-known cryptocurrency wallet service. It aims to mimic legitimate branding to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. The use of the page title 'MetaBridge' suggests an attempt to create confusion with the legitimate brand in order to conduct phishing attacks. Analysis reveals that metabridge-vip.com was created on June 12, 2026, and is registered through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. It is currently active and resolves to the IP address 3.8.142.16, hosted in the United Kingdom under Amazon.com, Inc.'s infrastructure. Although only 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal currently flag this domain, it has been blocked by several security services including PhishDestroy and the targeted brand itself. This indicates a credible threat despite the low detection count on VirusTotal. If you have visited this domain, it is crucial to take immediate action. Disconnect from the network and run a full security scan on your device to detect any potential malware. Change all passwords, especially those associated with cryptocurrency accounts. Contact your financial institutions to monitor for any unauthorized transactions. Lastly, report the website to relevant authorities and security services to aid in further protection efforts against this impersonation threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-B0D39B Favicon MD5: 1ba2ae710d927f13d483fd5d1e548c9b TLS cert SHA-256: 92caacddcace97150f3a36abc872b6eae58e0448f3acbf84821c42beaf49b245 ## 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/metabridge-vip.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metabridge-vip.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.
