# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metemask.com.co ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-10 15:52:55 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metemask.com.co/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 12/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, CyRadar, Emsisoft, Fortinet, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Seclookup, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 178.16.54.40 (NL, Amsterdam) ASN: AS202412 Omegatech LTD Hosting org: Omegatech LTD Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu Nameservers: ns1.openprovider.nl, ns2.openprovider.be, ns3.openprovider.eu Registered: 2026-05-08 Page title: MetaMask Wallet - Download Secure Crypto Wallet for Ethereum ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-07-28 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 78d08f99f3c97359e23b7fe75f71813e6ec7946b64ffbd910258c759305bb4c0 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.metemask.com.co ## 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: 2026-05-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-08 11:06:57 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-08 08:07:56 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-10 13:40:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-09 01:19:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e069e-3eac-776c-94a8-f6c22f62e6a9/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9e8a49a7-3264-4b80-b21a-d936405fcc12 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metemask.com.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metemask.com.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metemask.com.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metemask.com.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metemask.com.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-08 11:07:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies metemask.com.co as a malicious site impersonating the legitimate MetaMask crypto wallet to steal user credentials and funds. This fraudulent domain mimics the official brand to deceive visitors into entering sensitive wallet data, exposing them to cryptocurrency theft and identity fraud. This domain was flagged by 12 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and has been blocked by MetaMask and SEAL security services. The domain was created on April 29, 2024, and is registered through Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu. It has an SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt and resolves to the IP address 178.16.54.40, which has been associated with phishing infrastructure. If you visited metemask.com.co, immediately cease using any entered credentials or cryptocurrency wallet keys. Disconnect from the site and scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software. Update your passwords for MetaMask and related accounts, especially if you entered any information on the site. Report the incident to MetaMask support and consider transferring funds to a new wallet if you used this fraudulent site for transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260508-13685C Favicon MD5: e4186fd0bf7025146b5042a8dc15ac78 TLS cert SHA-256: 78d08f99f3c97359e23b7fe75f71813e6ec7946b64ffbd910258c759305bb4c0 ## 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/metemask.com.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metemask.com.co 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.
