No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 14:39:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-10 16:25:23 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4c08-dc57-75d4-85a2-3edf958bb013/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamask-download.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamask-download.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamask-download.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamask-download.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamask-download.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 15:00:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, metamask-download.com, operates as a crypto drainer, a type of malicious infrastructure designed to siphon cryptocurrency from victims' wallets. Unlike standard phishing sites that harvest credentials, crypto drainers execute unauthorized transactions directly from connected wallets, often using deceptive prompts or fake wallet interfaces. Users visiting this domain may encounter a cloned version of a legitimate wallet service, tricked into approving malicious smart contracts or signing transactions that transfer assets to attacker-controlled addresses. The threat is immediate and irreversible once funds are drained, targeting users of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, NFT marketplaces, and Web3 applications. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 6, 2026, through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, a registrar frequently associated with malicious domains due to its lenient registration policies. As of the latest scan, 18 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, with detections spanning categories such as phishing, malware distribution, and crypto-related fraud. The domain resolves to the IP address 94.183.168.63, which has been linked to multiple other crypto drainer campaigns in recent threat intelligence pulses. AlienVault OTX records show the domain appears in 50 distinct threat intelligence reports, further confirming its active use in ongoing malicious operations. The page title, "The Ultimate Crypto Wallet for DeFi, Web3 Apps, and NFTs | MetaMask," is a direct impersonation of the legitimate service, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. If a user has visited metamask-download.com or interacted with its content, immediate action is required to mitigate potential losses. First, disconnect any wallets or browser extensions linked to the site by revoking permissions via the wallet's connected sites or dApps management interface. Next, transfer all remaining assets to a new, secure wallet with no prior connection to the compromised domain. Monitor transaction histories for unauthorized activity and report any suspicious transactions to the relevant blockchain explorer or wallet provider. Users should also scan their devices for malware, as crypto drainers may deploy additional payloads to maintain persistence. For future protection, verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official sources and avoid interacting with sites promoted through unsolicited links or advertisements. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 37e5b087392c2b28d5f80e718a823913dd64230bcafcbf954eecea35a9fcd587 ## 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 (operator 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/metamask-download.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamask-download.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
