## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-14 21:43:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies metamskgnlogn.gitbook.io as a phishing domain actively impersonating the legitimate MetaMask cryptocurrency wallet platform. This domain specifically targets users by mimicking the appearance and functionality of MetaMask’s official GitBook documentation page, tricking visitors into entering their recovery phrases or downloading malicious extensions. The site is designed to harvest sensitive wallet credentials and drain cryptocurrency assets from unwary users.  This domain was flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating elevated risk and inconsistent trustworthiness. Registered through Cloudflare, Inc., the domain resolves to IP 172.64.147.209 and was created on March 30, 2014. Despite its age, it continues to operate with suspicious intent. While it uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, the presence of multiple security detections confirms ongoing malicious activity.  If you visited metamskgnlogn.gitbook.io, stop using any downloaded files or entered information immediately. Disconnect affected devices from the internet, clear browser cache and cookies, and scan for malware. Avoid entering wallet recovery phrases or private keys on any site. Use official MetaMask channels for documentation. Report the domain to your antivirus provider and consider rotating wallet credentials if any data was exposed.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       d6199a67277ca8d4083a14c41e54628d
TLS cert SHA-256:      e4c88edd4daf02e90c07844abf2ae51ff5c2e9f05f3f9cb09c27fc9ea634fa42

## 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 (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.
