# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metamask-eng.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 13:11:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metamask-eng.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: AS396982 Google LLC Hosting org: Google Cloud Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-04-05 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-04-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 10:26:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:05:19 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-05 17:52:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5c87-4c24-7177-a058-ecb1228e6400/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamask-eng.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamask-eng.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamask-eng.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamask-eng.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamask-eng.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 10:27:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies an active brand impersonation campaign targeting MetaMask users. The domain metamask-eng.wixstudio.com falsely mimics MetaMask’s official branding, currently classified as under investigation. This threat involves a phishing attempt to deceive victims into entering sensitive wallet credentials under the guise of MetaMask support or promotional services. This domain, resolved to IP 34.144.206.118 via Let's Encrypt SSL, was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it is not yet widely recognized by antivirus engines. Registrar details remain unverified pending deeper analysis, but the WixStudio hosting platform suggests a subdomain abuse tactic. The domain is newly associated with malicious impersonation, warranting heightened scrutiny. No listings on major blocklists such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or OpenPhish exist yet, though automatic detection remains lagging. PhishDestroy assesses this threat as active and escalating. The absence of vendor detections suggests the campaign is either very recent or deliberately evading static analysis using legitimate infrastructure. Users interacting with this domain risk credential theft, wallet compromise, or malware download. Immediate actions include blocking the IP 34.144.206.118 at the network perimeter, reporting the domain via MetaMask’s official phishing portal, and advising all crypto users to verify URLs via the official MetaMask website—not via search links or unsolicited messages. Exercise extreme caution with any Wix-hosted subdomain claiming MetaMask affiliation. ## 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/metamask-eng.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamask-eng.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.
