auth-metamaskkio-eng[.]pages[.]dev

The domain auth-metamaskkio-eng.pages.dev was registered on 21 February 2026 and is hosted behind Cloudflare’s network (AS13335, United States). DNS resolution points to 172.66.47.94 and the authoritative nameservers are david.ns.cloudflare.com and aria.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming Cloudflare as the registrar. The site served over HTTPS using a Google Trust Services / WE1 certificate and enforced HSTS, while supporting HTTP/3, indicating a modern web stack. The page title returned by the server is “Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare”, and the domain is explicitly flagged as a crypto‑scam targeting the MetaMask brand.

VirusTotal analysis shows that 11 of 93 scanned security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, and the domain appears on one external blocklist, which has already been leveraged by PhishDestroy to take the site offline. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 / 100, reinforcing its classification as high‑risk. No public Safe Browsing or Open Threat Exchange (OTX) entries were observed for this host, and the limited detection footprint is likely due to the rapid takedown.

Because the infrastructure is fully tied to Cloudflare, any future re‑hosting of the same malicious content could reuse the same IP range or certificate. Defenders should block the hostname and its resolved IP, add the domain to internal blocklists, monitor Cloudflare‑owned IP ranges for similar activity, and enforce strict validation of MetaMask‑related URLs in user agents. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain after any reappearance is advised, as the current evidence suggests a targeted brand‑impersonation campaign that has already been mitigated but may re‑emerge.
