## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:22:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies metamaskio.org as a brand impersonation domain targeting MetaMask users. Classified as medium risk, it presents a misleading page titled '小狐狸錢包|小狐狸|metamask下载' to lure victims.

The domain was created on February 21, 2026, and resolves to IP 172.67.199.247. It appears in two security blocklists and is flagged by 4 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. Additionally, AlienVault OTX reports its presence in five threat intelligence pulses, indicating active monitoring.

Currently active, metamaskio.org continues to pose a threat to users seeking MetaMask services. Users and security teams should block and avoid this site to mitigate risk. PhishDestroy recommends vigilance against this and similar impersonation attempts.

## 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.
