## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: cryptocurrency
Targeted brand: MetaMask

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/93 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Seclookup
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      104.21.8.160 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US

----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     WE1
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-03 15:39:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies nl-metamask.com as a crypto drainer domain targeting cryptocurrency users. It was registered on February 21, 2026, and classified as a medium-risk threat due to its fraudulent intent to steal digital assets.

Technical indicators include detection by multiple security vendors and its presence on three security blocklists. The domain was registered through a now-defunct service, indicating likely malicious use. VirusTotal flagged this domain, confirming its association with phishing activities.

Currently, nl-metamask.com is offline and no longer accessible. Its removal from active hosting reduces immediate risk; however, ongoing vigilance is recommended to prevent similar threats. PhishDestroy continues to monitor related infrastructure for emerging crypto phishing campaigns.

## 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.
