metashopuk[.]com

Analysis of the domain metashopuk.com indicates a confirmed brand impersonation campaign targeting backpack retailers. The domain was registered on December 22, 2025, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 163.181.214.120, hosted on AS24429 (Zhejiang Taobao Network Co., Ltd) in Hong Kong. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of nameservers LOGAN.NS.ATRUSTDNS.COM and WEDDELL.NS.ATRUSTDNS.COM, a configuration consistent with domains observed in prior phishing operations. Detection metrics further support malicious classification: 17 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain at the time of assessment, while AlienVault OTX lists it in two distinct threat intelligence pulses.

The domain appears on at least one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy, and has been assigned a trust score of 0/100 by Gridinsoft. The SSL certificate is identified as R13, a detail that may assist defenders in tracking related infrastructure. The page title, 'Meta Shop,' aligns with the reported scam type of brand impersonation, explicitly targeting backpack retailers. While the domain is currently offline, defenders should treat it as part of an active campaign.

Observable evidence does not include specifics about the phishing kit or exact lure mechanics, as no direct page analysis was conducted. The registration age (approximately seven months at the time of reporting) suggests the domain may have been staged for delayed use, a tactic observed in other brand impersonation schemes. Network defenders are advised to block the domain, its resolved IP, and associated nameservers at perimeter controls. Further monitoring of domains registered through the same registrar and nameserver pair may reveal additional related infrastructure.
