metaextn[.]info

Analysis of metaextn.info shows that the domain was registered on December 23, 2025 through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com and is hosted on the Unified Layer network (ASN 46606) in the United States, resolving to IP 162.241.85.94. The authoritative nameservers are rns19.webhostbox.net and rns20.webhostbox.net. No TLS certificate was observed, indicating the site was served over plain HTTP before being taken offline. The page title returned by the server was "META -", which does not reveal additional context.

Threat intelligence records indicate that the domain is associated with a brand‑impersonation campaign targeting WordPress users. Ten of ninety‑three security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain, and AlienVault OTX lists it in two separate threat pulses. The domain appears on three public blocklists and is specifically blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment.

The current offline status prevents further live verification, and no additional payload or exploit details have been released. Defenders should continue to block the IP address 162.241.85.94 and the domain metaextn.info at DNS and web‑filter layers, monitor for any re‑hosting of the same content on adjacent subdomains or similar registrars, and update detection signatures to include the observed page title and the identified nameserver pair. Ongoing observation of the associated threat pulses on OTX is recommended to capture any evolution of the impersonation infrastructure.
