  - gitbook.io

## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 05:59:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified metamzklganl.gitbook.io as a suspicious phishing domain impersonating Metamask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet. The page title 'MetâMãsk®@us | Log_in | us' suggests it was crafted to deceive users into divulging sensitive login credentials. Although the exact risk level remains under investigation, the domain’s behavior is consistent with generic phishing tactics aimed at credential theft.

This domain was registered on March 14, 2026, through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 104.18.40.47. Despite appearing on three separate security blocklists, VirusTotal scans have not flagged it, showing zero detections from 95 vendors at this time. Such discrepancies are not uncommon for newly created phishing infrastructure which may initially evade detection. The domain leveraged the gitbook.io subdomain, exploiting a trusted platform for hosting deceptive content.

Currently, metamzklganl.gitbook.io is offline, indicating possible takedown or suspension actions. PhishDestroy recommends continued vigilance for similar phishing attempts, especially those mimicking cryptocurrency-related services. Users should avoid interacting with suspicious links claiming to be Metamask and verify URLs carefully. Organizations are advised to monitor related domains and update blocklists to prevent credential compromise stemming from this evolving threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       145925105efa7da46cbf2bf87faed141
TLS cert SHA-256:      a438a4e073260fcc8ef4463db227800d90eab44bfa4f612ea36a7c2ff690881b

## 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.
