No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 1997-10-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 15:02:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-18 12:03:50 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-20 04:31:42 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3af6-d1a7-7616-ab7f-438ae43ba677/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6d4d3316-3744-446c-9529-af21e0222e6a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamask.bitcoin.ec.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamask.bitcoin.ec.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamask.bitcoin.ec.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamask.bitcoin.ec.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamask.bitcoin.ec.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-18 15:03:19 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.bitcoin.ec.cc as an active brand impersonation domain targeting MetaMask users. The domain mimics the legitimate MetaMask brand to deceive victims into connecting crypto wallets or entering seed phrases, enabling crypto drainer activity. While no specific drainer kit payloads were detected in this investigation, the domain’s structure and naming convention strongly suggest credential theft mechanisms typical of crypto phishing campaigns. This domain exhibits several red flags aligned with fraudulent infrastructure. Registered on October 13, 1997, through Gname.com Pte. Ltd., it resolves to IP address 102.134.35.21 and is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal currently returns a clean scan result of 0/95 detections, though this reflects only initial scanning coverage and does not confirm safety. No blocklist entries were reported at the time of analysis, and Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unflagged. The domain’s age (over 25 years) is anomalous and suggests either domain squatting or long-term dormant infrastructure later repurposed for malicious use. Current status indicates active threat potential with medium operational risk due to low detection coverage. PhishDestroy has flagged this domain for immediate classification and dissemination. Users are advised to block access at the network level and report the domain to hosting providers and security vendors. Remaining risk is elevated due to the lack of detection coverage and absence from blocklists, warranting heightened monitoring. Organizations should update firewall rules and DNS blacklists to include this domain using indicators: metamask.bitcoin.ec.cc, 102.134.35.21. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/92 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260518-1B8F17 Favicon MD5: 3d8049a7a2e1ca62dda8fd7c4ad8577a TLS cert SHA-256: 7e50d9cb60e2add1a31a765038c8d4cc4827f9441f446069e27d3d843b05a34d ## 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.bitcoin.ec.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamask.bitcoin.ec.cc 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.
