Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation site targeting MetaMask, a widely used cryptocurrency wallet. The site mimics the official MetaMask Chrome extension, presenting a significant threat to users who may unknowingly expose sensitive credentials or wallet recovery phrases. Brand impersonation in this context is particularly dangerous due to the irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions, making victims susceptible to financial loss. Analysis indicates the domain metskchroem-extsion.gitbook.io was created on March 30, 2014, and is currently active. It resolves to the IP address 104.18.40.47, registered through Cloudflare, Inc. Security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, with 5 out of 95 detecting it as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, is often exploited by threat actors to lend credibility to fraudulent sites. The page title, 'MetaMask chrome extension | The Ultimate Crypto Wallet…,' further reinforces the impersonation attempt by closely mirroring the branding of the legitimate MetaMask service. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate blocking of the domain and IP address within network security controls. Organizations and end-users should verify the authenticity of cryptocurrency-related sites by cross-referencing official domains and ensuring connections are made via trusted sources. Additionally, monitoring for unusual login attempts or transaction requests tied to this domain can help detect and prevent unauthorized access. Users who may have interacted with this site should revoke any connected wallet permissions, rotate credentials, and scan for potential malware or unauthorized extensions. Given the high-risk nature of this impersonation, proactive measures such as user education on recognizing brand spoofing and implementing multi-factor authentication for wallet access are strongly recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 8d32a073e75564ed35fd6581eb48c3d6 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/metskchroem-extsion.gitbook.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=metskchroem-extsion.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.
