## 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.

metamasksupport.us - Fake MetaMask Support Scam

metamasksupport.us poses as a legitimate MetaMask support site, attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. This phishing domain is flagged by 4 out of 92 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a growing awareness of its malicious intent. It is also listed on public blocklists maintained by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL, highlighting the threat it poses to cryptocurrency users.

The domain's page title, 'Security Check', is designed to lure users into believing they are undergoing a legitimate security verification process. By impersonating MetaMask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet service, the site aims to exploit users' trust in the brand. The domain is hosted on IP address 188.114.96.3, under the infrastructure of CloudFlare, Inc., with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt.

Active since May 2026, metamasksupport.us leverages the credibility of its hosting and SSL provider to appear legitimate. However, its inclusion in multiple blocklists and the presence of VirusTotal detections underscore its fraudulent nature. Users encountering this domain should be aware of its intent to harvest personal and financial information under the guise of technical support.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      2f9bc33c0c23bab7371f62b6c31e850e3f3064e37a43bc4dc640fe29541058a8

## 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.
