# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metamask.web3-1.top ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 02:54:52 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metamask.web3-1.top/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Ermes, Fortinet, Seclookup, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.66.90.106 (UA, Kyiv) ASN: AS30860 Virtual Systems LLC Hosting org: Virtual Systems LLC Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/namesilo-killed-our-twitter https://phishdestroy.io/xmrwallet-namesilo-exposed Nameservers: ns13.v-sys.org, ns14.v-sys.org Registered: 2026-04-06 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f12904fb2a62fed1b9683ca9c04c11df0ed0e25290a3293f8fc2e4a320af8e8c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - web3-1.top - www.metamask.web3-1.top ## 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: 2026-04-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-06 15:33:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-06 12:34:22 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:12:23 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-07 01:55:33 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019d62c5-d608-700c-a1b6-4e724ad335d8/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/00c527fd-4950-4a13-ad31-db31de9dcbea Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamask.web3-1.top crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamask.web3-1.top Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamask.web3-1.top AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamask.web3-1.top URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamask.web3-1.top/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-06 15:35:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain impersonates MetaMask to trick users into exposing wallet credentials and seed phrases, a common tactic to drain cryptocurrency holdings. PhishDestroy identifies metamask.web3-1.top as a current threat under investigation, actively posing as the official MetaMask brand to deceive visitors seeking wallet login or extension downloads. PhishDestroy confirms the threat level using concrete evidence: the domain was registered on April 01, 2026, through NameSilo, LLC, and currently shows 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal scanners as of this assessment. Additionally, the domain resolves to IP 185.66.90.106 and has been blocked by MetaMask and SEAL, while appearing on 2 security blocklists. The SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt provides a false sense of legitimacy, but the brand impersonation technique remains a primary danger here. If you visited metamask.web3-1.top, do not enter any wallet passwords, seed phrases, or recovery keys. Disconnect from the site immediately and revoke any permissions you may have granted. Run a security scan on your device with updated antivirus software, and monitor your wallet transactions for unusual activity. Report the domain to MetaMask’s official phishing reporting channels and consider changing passwords for sensitive accounts if you reused credentials. Always verify the correct domain (metamask.io) by cross-checking with official MetaMask communications or using trusted bookmarks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260406-B499FC TLS cert SHA-256: f12904fb2a62fed1b9683ca9c04c11df0ed0e25290a3293f8fc2e4a320af8e8c ## 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.web3-1.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamask.web3-1.top 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.
