# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metamaskx.online ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 06:31:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metamaskx.online/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Webroot URLQuery: -1 detections AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 82.29.191.44 (GB, Manchester) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: HOSTINGER GB Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB Nameservers: ["lunar.dns-parking.com", "solar.dns-parking.com"] Registered: 2026-05-18 Page title: Default page HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-08-12 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: a9d6cc00a9fdde9dc4c60405ab6a5d4c848587223a35d95f0165149c3d341367 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.metamaskx.online ## 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: 2026-05-18 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-18 23:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-27 00:06:42 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:26:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, metamaskx.online, poses a high-risk credential harvesting threat by impersonating the MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet interface. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive users into entering sensitive wallet credentials, including private keys or seed phrases, which would enable unauthorized access to digital assets. The domain currently displays a default page, suggesting either an early-stage deployment or a placeholder awaiting malicious content activation. Given MetaMask's widespread use in decentralized finance, this impersonation targets a high-value user base with significant financial exposure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on May 18, 2026, through HOSTINGER operations, UAB, and resolves to IP address 82.29.191.44, hosted in the United Kingdom. Security telemetry shows the domain appears on 2 blocklists, including PhishDestroy and SEAL, while VirusTotal reports 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (R12), a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy. The domain's creation date is anomalous, as it predates the current date by several years, indicating either a typo-squatting attempt or a placeholder registration for future malicious use. Users who have visited metamaskx.online should immediately revoke any active sessions associated with the domain and monitor their wallet transactions for unauthorized activity. If credentials were entered, affected parties must transfer assets to a new wallet using a fresh seed phrase, as private keys or recovery phrases entered on the site are considered compromised. Additionally, users should review connected applications and permissions within their MetaMask wallet and report the domain to relevant security teams for further investigation. No legitimate MetaMask services operate under this domain, and all interactions should be treated as malicious. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: ff3a0706aa6dc4bfaca6f894fa5bdedf TLS cert SHA-256: a9d6cc00a9fdde9dc4c60405ab6a5d4c848587223a35d95f0165149c3d341367 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metamaskx.online/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metamaskx.online 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
