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: 2014-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-07 15:09:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-12 22:45:00 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-02 03:06:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019af95b-a6bf-75af-be83-34279e5cd2fd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metmaskgir.gitbook.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metmaskgir.gitbook.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metmaskgir.gitbook.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metmaskgir.gitbook.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metmaskgir.gitbook.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:24:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies metmaskgir.gitbook.io as a high-risk domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting MetaMask users. The domain was designed to mimic MetaMask’s login interface, as evidenced by the page title "MetaMask® Loginge | us," likely aiming to deceive users into disclosing sensitive authentication details. The intent behind this fraudulent site aligns with common phishing tactics directed at cryptocurrency wallet holders. This domain was registered on March 30, 2014, through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolved to the IP address 104.18.40.47. Notably, metmaskgir.gitbook.io appeared on two security blocklists and was flagged by 14 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, reflecting substantial consensus regarding its malicious nature. The infrastructure hosting this page utilized GitBook’s platform, a known vector for hosting deceptive content due to its ease of setup and reputable masking. Currently, the domain is offline, indicating action has been taken to disrupt its availability. Users are strongly advised to avoid the domain entirely and verify official MetaMask URLs before entering any credentials. Continuous monitoring and rapid reporting of suspicious MetaMask-themed sites are critical to mitigating phishing risks. PhishDestroy recommends users employ updated security solutions and consult official resources to confirm website legitimacy. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 84ac53de5ccddf86e9ed291a0ffada680dc051135cd499e1ec066b2fa5ea557c 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metmaskgir.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metmaskgir.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
