# metamaskj.io — SUSPICIOUS

> metamaskj.io is a MetaMask impersonation site flagged by 2/95 VirusTotal vendors. Verify if this domain is part of an active phishing campaign.

## Summary
PhishDestroy identifies metamaskj.io as an active domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting MetaMask users. This site masquerades as the legitimate MetaMask platform to deceive visitors into disclosing sensitive credentials or cryptocurrency wallet information. The threat level is elevated due to the direct impersonation of a widely recognized financial brand, increasing the likelihood of successful phishing attacks. Authorities have not yet taken down this domain, and it remains accessible as of the latest intelligence.    This domain was flagged by 2 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating early-stage detection with limited consensus. It is registered through Dynadot Inc, resolving to IP address 185.66.140.182, and was created on March 09, 2026 — a suspiciously recent date that aligns with active phishing campaigns. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is commonly leveraged by threat actors to lend false legitimacy to fraudulent websites. While the IP address has no known associations with major blocklists, its recent creation and low detection rate suggest it is part of an emerging campaign rather than a long-standing malicious infrastructure.    Users and organizations must treat metamaskj.io as a confirmed threat vector due to its MetaMask impersonation and active status. Recommendations include blocking the domain at the network level, updating DNS and firewall rules to prevent access, and educating users to verify URL spellings and SSL certificates before entering sensitive information. Additionally, reporting this domain to MetaMask’s abuse team and platforms like VirusTotal can aid in broader takedown efforts. Proactive monitoring of this IP and domain for related infrastructure is advised, as threat actors often deploy multiple similar domains in quick succession.
