## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-04-13 01:40:56 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:34:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies metamaskinsure.com as a high-risk domain engaging in brand impersonation targeting MetaMask users. The domain was designed to deceive victims by mimicking the well-known cryptocurrency wallet brand, potentially leading to phishing attempts or fraudulent activities. Users searching for MetaMask-related services should be cautious and avoid any interaction with this domain to protect their credentials and assets.

The domain metamaskinsure.com was registered on February 21, 2026, through eNom, LLC, and resolved to IP address 23.254.231.240. It was flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on one security blocklist. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain is 0 out of 100, indicating a complete lack of trustworthiness. The page title found was "Domain Inquiry," suggesting limited or placeholder content, typical of phishing infrastructure designed to evade immediate detection.

Currently, metamaskinsure.com is offline, which reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat from potential future reactivation or similar domains. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid this domain and rely solely on verified MetaMask websites for any transactions or information. Security teams should continue monitoring related infrastructure and educate users about the dangers of brand impersonation scams targeting cryptocurrency services.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       aecb27623703d12765b63141703f447e
TLS cert SHA-256:      56fe791c1c3087e8127f709210033221216122a0009f31688be507ced56a5fbc

## 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.
