## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-30 18:28:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Threat Overview
The domain metamask-china[.]com has been identified as a phishing website designed to impersonate MetaMask. This malicious site targets cryptocurrency users by creating a convincing replica of the legitimate MetaMask platform.
Attack Vector
The phishing site attempts to trick users into connecting their wallets or entering their seed phrases and private keys. Once captured, the attackers use these credentials to drain victims' cryptocurrency holdings.
Risk Indicators

- Domain registered on a standard TLD (com)
- Contains brand keywords associated with MetaMask
- Domain length: 18 characters
- Vt Detected
- Drainer Detected

Recommendations
Always access MetaMask through the official website. Never enter your seed phrase or private keys on any website. Use hardware wallets for additional security.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260530-18CEBA
Favicon MD5:       b4b82a53ff96b6bd8797f8c129da3af5
TLS cert SHA-256:      6ec5b8cff24b253ff6312594c22c5fdd46c98790a924d71a40f2ecb957576998

## 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.
