# PhishDestroy threat dossier — metrobases.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 22:07:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/metrobases.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Base ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 15/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CSIS Security Group, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos, VIPRE URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 131.153.147.162 (US, Ashburn) ASN: AS19437 SECURED SERVERS LLC Hosting org: Secured Servers LLC Registrar: TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown Nameservers: nsc.go54.com, nsd.go54.com Registered: 2026-03-03 Expires: 2027-03-03 ## 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: 2026-03-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 04:04:02 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 02:23:09 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 20:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 04:06:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b69-f6d0-72a8-adf6-1c5bd3e9a3ce/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b8ece1b6-f3e3-4516-b62b-31c7ef839372 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/metrobases.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.metrobases.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=metrobases.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/metrobases.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/metrobases.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 04:45:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, metrobases.com, is identified as a generic phishing infrastructure designed to mimic legitimate Metro service login portals. Analysis indicates no direct association with known cryptocurrency drainer kits or brand-specific impersonation frameworks, but the site employs standard credential-harvesting techniques common in phishing campaigns. The domain does not exhibit overt ties to high-profile brands, suggesting a broad-target approach rather than a narrowly focused impersonation scheme. No specific phishing toolkit signatures were detected in initial scans, though further forensic analysis of the offline content may reveal additional indicators. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to the IP address 131.153.147.162 and was registered on March 03, 2026, through TuringSign Inc. d/b/a Cosmotown. VirusTotal reports 15 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating moderate detection coverage. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is currently blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites due to its accessibility and automation. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) listing was confirmed at the time of assessment, though this may reflect delays in propagation rather than a clean status. The domain is currently offline, reducing immediate risk to end users. However, the infrastructure remains registered and could be reactivated or repurposed for future campaigns. The elevated risk level is justified by the combination of phishing intent, moderate detection rates, and the use of a registrar historically associated with abusive domains. Users who may have interacted with this domain are advised to reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the period of activity, particularly those related to Metro services or similar login portals. Organizations should monitor for related indicators of compromise, including the IP address and registrar details, and consider proactive blocking of the domain and associated infrastructure to prevent potential future exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-8803A8 Favicon MD5: 220a8188f9a7d2b94016cc39c37d7ce3 ## 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/metrobases.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metrobases.com 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.
