# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metamaskwallet-restore.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-31 09:44:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metamaskwallet-restore.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 23/93 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, CRDF, ChainPatrol, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, Criminal IP, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Ermes, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, SOCRadar, Seclookup, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot, alphaMountain.ai URLQuery: 100 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 6 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 195.250.27.134 (MX, Mexico City) ASN: ASAS211126 WHG Hosting Services Ltd Hosting org: AS211126 WHG Hosting Services Ltd Registrar: Dominet (HK) Limited Nameservers: cloud1.listedhosting.net, cloud2.listedhosting.net Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2027-01-28 Page title: MetaMask: The Leading Crypto Wallet Platform, Blockchain Wallet ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-05-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6bf03c739218623799203e9c05a7d1f4ee05de42a1947aae23c48b960f8417eb Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - absmart.cl - autodiscover.absmart.cl - cpanel.absmart.cl - cpcalendars.absmart.cl - cpcontacts.absmart.cl - mail.absmart.cl - webdisk.absmart.cl - webmail.absmart.cl - www.absmart.cl ## 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) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-01-30 12:12:32 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-31 09:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-15 12:08:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019c0eb6-9797-744a-bde0-4f873d89a5b2/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/023dc02d-61cc-4bad-bcab-787380c6183a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metamaskwallet-restore.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metamaskwallet-restore.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metamaskwallet-restore.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metamaskwallet-restore.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metamaskwallet-restore.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-18 23:52:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies metamaskwallet-restore.com as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting MetaMask, a leading cryptocurrency wallet platform. The domain was designed to mimic MetaMask’s branding and deceive users into believing it is an official restoration service, a classic tactic used for credential theft and fraudulent activities. This classification is consistent with common phishing strategies aimed at cryptocurrency users. Technical indicators reveal that metamaskwallet-restore.com was registered through Dominet (HK) Limited on February 21, 2026, and resolves to the IP address 195.250.27.134. VirusTotal flagged this domain by 23 out of 95 security vendors, and it appears on six separate security blocklists, reflecting significant detection activity by cybersecurity entities. Additionally, AlienVault OTX has recorded the domain within one threat intelligence pulse. The domain’s Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further underscores its malicious reputation. Currently, metamaskwallet-restore.com is offline, indicating possible takedown or mitigation efforts after detection. Despite this, users should remain vigilant and avoid interacting with any content or communications referencing this domain. PhishDestroy recommends that individuals and organizations maintain updated security measures and exercise caution when handling any domain that impersonates trusted brands, especially in the cryptocurrency sector where phishing attacks can lead to substantial financial loss.

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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metamaskwallet-restore.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamaskwallet-restore.com Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
