No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2014-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-12 13:40:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-12 17:21:50 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f5620-1b5f-77c7-9845-691c969e9386/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metmasket.gitbook.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metmasket.gitbook.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metmasket.gitbook.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metmasket.gitbook.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metmasket.gitbook.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-12 17:21:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, metmasket.gitbook.io, is actively impersonating MetaMask, a widely used cryptocurrency wallet browser extension. Analysis indicates the domain is hosted on GitBook infrastructure and resolves to the IP address 172.64.147.209, which is associated with Cloudflare. The page title, 'Metamask- Extension® | Browser extension for chrom,' explicitly mimics MetaMask branding, suggesting an attempt to deceive users into believing the site is legitimate. The domain has been flagged by three security blocklists and is currently blocked by multiple threat intelligence sources, including MetaMask's own security mechanisms. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which does not inherently indicate malicious activity but is consistent with the domain's use of Google Cloud and Cloudflare technologies. The domain was registered on March 30, 2014, though this does not correlate with the onset of malicious activity, as impersonation campaigns often leverage older domains to evade detection. VirusTotal reports that 8 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain, providing additional evidence of its suspicious nature. However, the exact tactics used to distribute the domain—such as phishing emails, malicious advertisements, or search engine poisoning—remain unclear from available data. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of HTTP/3, HSTS, and Cloudflare, which are commonly employed to enhance security and performance but can also be exploited to obfuscate malicious activity. The domain's continued activity, despite being blocked by multiple security vendors, suggests ongoing efforts to target users. Defenders should prioritize blocking this domain at the network level and monitoring for related indicators of compromise, such as connections to 172.64.147.209 or attempts to download files from metmasket.gitbook.io. User education regarding the risks of downloading browser extensions from unofficial sources is also recommended to mitigate potential exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9b9743571363e1c418282349826a157e TLS cert SHA-256: 98c3ab0d3949705387628514c9719db2a8543e8196f364b937d0b020dfc6e074 ## 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/metmasket.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metmasket.gitbook.io 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.
