This domain, metamask.tap.5ire.network, is an active phishing site targeting MetaMask users. Registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and using Cloudflare nameservers (lucy.ns.cloudflare.com, burt.ns.cloudflare.com), the domain resolves to IP 172.66.175.64 (AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., US). The page title, 'Connect Metamask - 5ire Tap', confirms the brand impersonation of MetaMask in a cryptocurrency scam context. VirusTotal shows 2 of 95 security vendors flagging the domain, and it appears on 1 security blocklist (PhishDestroy). The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), and the site returns HTTP status 530, a Cloudflare-specific error code often used when the origin server is unreachable or blocking requests. The use of Cloudflare and HTTP/3 provides resilience against takedown attempts. Defenders should block this domain at the DNS and proxy level, monitor for subdomains or variations under the same 5ire.network parent, and warn users accessing cryptocurrency wallet services. The exact phishing mechanism (e.g., credential harvesting, seed phrase theft) is not determined from the available data, but the brand and scam type strongly indicate fraudulent authentication requests.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For the registrable domain 5ire.network behind this subdomain, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety seal. Verify ICANN fees Read RAA §3.18 PHISHDESTROY INVESTIGATIONICANN funding, contracts, and DNS abuse oversight
