# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metaxseed.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-27 03:40:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metaxseed.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Airdrop Scam Targeted brand: Airdrop Scam ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai URLQuery: 2 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.213.226 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["earl.ns.cloudflare.com", "laura.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-17 Page title: MXS Games $XSEED Airdrop ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 3000bf2bff44d175397d7ecadfda4268b42c1e80c1f6c5eec3857d4a3fdee484 ## 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-18 00:27:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-17 21:29:28 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-26 01:40:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:28:02 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/019d9d55-f4a9-751f-b2a3-ab983fd8627d/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/71b1a4a4-5385-4c4f-8eb2-f9f5ad1a6ffa Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metaxseed.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metaxseed.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metaxseed.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metaxseed.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metaxseed.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-18 00:28:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies metaxseed.xyz as an active crypto drainer scam site, designed to trick users into entering seed phrases or private keys under the guise of a legitimate recovery tool. This domain exemplifies a high-risk phishing variant where threat actors harvest cryptocurrency wallet credentials to drain funds instantly. The deceptive domain employs social engineering tactics, mimicking authentic services to exploit user trust and facilitate financial theft. Given its association with cryptocurrency wallet compromise, the risk level for this domain is classified as active and under investigation, with immediate remediation advised for any users who may have interacted with it. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with the following technical indicators: it resolves to IP address 172.67.213.226, was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and was created on April 03, 2026. Currently, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 security engines, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus and threat intelligence platforms. The domain is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which is commonly used by threat actors to appear legitimate. While no known listings on public blocklists were detected at the time of analysis, the absence of detections underscores the importance of proactive threat intelligence rather than reactive measures. The domain’s recent registration date and low detection profile suggest it is a newly deployed threat vector. Users must avoid entering sensitive information such as seed phrases, private keys, or wallet recovery phrases on metaxseed.xyz under any circumstances. In the event of potential exposure, immediately transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet and revoke any connected smart contract permissions. Enable multi-factor authentication on all crypto accounts and monitor wallets for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to PhishDestroy and local cybersecurity authorities to aid in global threat disruption. Always verify URLs and domain legitimacy through multiple sources, including official project websites and trusted security tools, before interacting with crypto-related services. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260417-617BC4 TLS cert SHA-256: 3000bf2bff44d175397d7ecadfda4268b42c1e80c1f6c5eec3857d4a3fdee484 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metaxseed.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metaxseed.xyz 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.
