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.

metamaskphrasebackup.com Phishing Intelligence Report - PhishDestroy

This report analyzes the domain metamaskphrasebackup.com. The site's page title is "Morlse Finance Bank | Home," but it impersonates the brand "google" and is classified as a tech_support scam. The threat posed is a deceptive website that likely attempts to trick users into providing sensitive information or payment under the guise of technical support.

Technical analysis reveals the site was flagged by 9 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors. It was created on 2026-02-21 and hosted on IP address 198.251.83.85106 in the United States, assigned to AS53667 FranTech Solutions. The site uses an SSL certificate (R11). It is listed on 1 blocklist and flagged by ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, and CyRadar.

The current status of the site is DOWN/OFFLINE. The risk level is high, as indicated by a GridinSoft trust score of 0 out of 100, a ScamAdviser trust score of 1 out of 100, and a DOM risk score of 70.

## 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 (operator 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.
