# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-08 21:23:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Crypto Drainer Targeted brand: MetaMask ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Phishtank, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.64.147.209 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Cloudflare, Inc Nameservers: dahlia.ns.cloudflare.com, hugh.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2014-03-30 Expires: 2031-03-30 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 98c3ab0d3949705387628514c9719db2a8543e8196f364b937d0b020dfc6e074 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2014-03-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 13:18:03 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-08 22:22:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 18:19:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eda72-97ea-72c9-a71f-171090f4bbd9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:34:19 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 metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io as a high-risk crypto drainer, a specific type of threat designed to steal cryptocurrency by tricking users into connecting their wallets and approving malicious transactions. This domain impersonates the legitimate MetaMask wallet interface to deceive victims into believing they are interacting with an official platform. The risk level is elevated due to the active status of the domain and the irreversible nature of crypto asset theft. Technical indicators underscore the severity of this threat. VirusTotal analysis reveals that 13 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. The domain was created on March 30, 2014, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy, but its current activity is concerning. It is registered through Cloudflare, Inc and resolves to IP address 104.18.40.47. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which is common for legitimate sites, but here it is used to foster trust for malicious purposes. These data points collectively paint a picture of a well-prepared phishing infrastructure. To protect against crypto drainers like this, users should never connect their crypto wallets to unknown or unsolicited websites. Always verify the URL carefully; the official MetaMask wallet is accessible only through metamask.io or browser extensions, not via GitBook subdomains. Enable two-factor authentication on exchange accounts and use a hardware wallet for storing significant assets. If interaction has already occurred, immediately revoke token approvals through a blockchain explorer tool and transfer remaining funds to a new, secure wallet. Staying vigilant and skeptical of unsolicited prompts to connect wallets is the best defense against these threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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/metqmask-wallet.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metqmask-wallet.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.
