No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2014-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-11 14:21:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-11 17:25:29 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e16c3-baf4-710e-a427-9bb75ec84b07/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-11 14:22:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io as a confirmed brand impersonation scam site actively impersonating MetaMask, a leading cryptocurrency wallet provider. This domain is classified under the specific threat type of brand impersonation with intent to facilitate credential theft and potential cryptocurrency draining. The site remains active as of the latest verification and represents a high-risk threat to users seeking legitimate MetaMask services. This domain was flagged by 5 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating moderate detection but clear malicious intent. It resolves to IP address 104.18.40.47 and is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., which is commonly abused to obfuscate hosting infrastructure. The domain was created on March 30, 2014, and despite its age, has been repurposed for malicious activity. While it holds an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, this does not validate its legitimacy. The presence of 'wxllet' in the subdomain is a deliberate misspelling designed to deceive users searching for 'wallet'. As of current monitoring, metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io remains active and poses an ongoing threat to users. Security researchers and end-users are strongly advised to block this domain at the network and DNS levels and avoid any interaction. Users who may have entered credentials or wallet information should immediately revoke access to connected wallets, transfer remaining assets to a secure wallet, and perform a full security audit of their cryptocurrency holdings. Always verify URLs, use official MetaMask channels, and enable two-factor authentication to mitigate risks associated with brand impersonation attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 26e5f8cdafea1ca6e964f42f5137e88f TLS cert SHA-256: e4c88edd4daf02e90c07844abf2ae51ff5c2e9f05f3f9cb09c27fc9ea634fa42 ## 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-wxllet.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamask-wxllet.gitbook.io 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.
