No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:31:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-08 13:06:07 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:33:19 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ea754-04a5-7251-b6b1-db2c8471f787/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/62b5af9d-6687-4118-b8ac-a2ed568005b6 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamask.betmode.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamask.betmode.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamask.betmode.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamask.betmode.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamask.betmode.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:52:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain metamask.betmode.io has been assessed as an elevated risk level brand impersonation threat targeting the MetaMask brand. This site poses a significant risk to users by mimicking the MetaMask interface and potentially stealing sensitive information or credentials. Analysis indicates that the domain resolves to the IP address 216.150.16.65 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. It was created on June 08, 2026, and appears on four security blocklists: MetaMask, PhishDestroy, SEAL, and OISD. The domain is currently offline, which may indicate that it has been taken down by the hosting provider or the registrar. On VirusTotal, 5 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain, suggesting a moderate level of detection among the security community. The page title found was 'BETMODE × theMiracle x MetaMask — Play Fearless', which further reinforces the brand impersonation attempt. To mitigate the risks associated with this brand impersonation threat, users are advised to verify the URL of any MetaMask-related site before entering credentials or performing transactions. Security teams should monitor for similar domain registrations and block access to known malicious sites. Additionally, users should enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) and use trusted security software to detect and prevent access to phishing sites. Organizations should also educate their users about the dangers of brand impersonation and the importance of verifying the legitimacy of websites. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260608-A5792E Favicon MD5: c30c7d42707a47a3f4591831641e50dc TLS cert SHA-256: 58bf8d7b75b79db0aa25744982e47b084ef42c8d7ad2f482a607413763620c38 ## 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.betmode.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamask.betmode.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
