Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metahoper.digital/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      13/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, ESTsecurity, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Lionic, Seclookup, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
AlienVault OTX:  5 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.208.156.66 (CH, Zürich)
ASN:             ASAS42624 swissnetwork02 Global-Data System IT Corporation, SC
Hosting org:     AS42624 Global-Data System IT Corporation
Registered:      2026-02-21
Page title:      Index of /
HTTP response:   530

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     R10
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:24:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-24 01:13:04 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-03 01:51:14 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:09:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies metahoper.digital as a high-risk generic phishing domain used to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026, and quickly drew attention due to its malicious intent. Classified under generic phishing threats, it was involved in campaigns designed to lure victims with fraudulent messages and fake websites mimicking legitimate services.

Technical indicators associated with metahoper.digital include its appearance in multiple threat intelligence feeds such as AlienVault OTX, where it was reported in five distinct pulses. VirusTotal flagged the domain by 13 security vendors out of 95, and it is listed on three separate security blocklists. The domain registration was done through a dead domain registrar, a common tactic used by threat actors to evade detection and complicate takedown efforts. These indicators underscore the domain’s role in orchestrating phishing attacks leveraging deceptive infrastructure.

Currently, metahoper.digital is offline, reflecting successful takedown efforts likely initiated by security researchers and hosting providers. Despite being inactive, the domain’s prior activity poses ongoing risk as similar tactics could be reused by threat actors. Users are advised to remain vigilant against phishing attempts and verify URLs before interacting with unknown links. PhishDestroy continues to monitor related infrastructure to provide timely alerts and protect users from emerging phishing threats.

## 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.
