metadonk[.]ws

This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk generic phishing threat specializing in cryptocurrency wallet credential theft. Analysis indicates metadonk.ws presents itself as a legitimate Web3 authentication portal, using React and Nginx to mimic decentralized application interfaces. The objective appears to be harvesting private keys, seed phrases, and wallet passwords from unsuspecting users attempting to connect their crypto wallets. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 109.120.177.189 and has been detected in 4 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses. VirusTotal reports 5 out of 95 security vendors flagging metadonk.ws as malicious, while Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0/100. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist and is currently blocked by enterprise phishing detection systems. Technologies identified include YouTube integration, suggesting attempts to appear legitimate through embedded content. The page title 'Problem loading page' may indicate either a failed deployment or deliberate evasion of automated detection systems. Mitigation requires immediate verification of all Web3 connections. Users should never connect wallets to unverified domains, particularly those not originating from official project documentation. Wallet software should be updated to the latest version, and hardware wallets used for all high-value transactions. Network-level protections should block 109.120.177.189 and related infrastructure. Organizations should implement real-time phishing detection that identifies React-based credential harvesting attempts and monitor for domains using YouTube as a legitimacy vector. All cryptocurrency transactions initiated after potential exposure should be treated as compromised, with funds moved to new wallets using fresh seed phrases.
