metamaskwallet.icu is an impersonation phishing domain that uses the MetaMask name to target users of the popular self-custody wallet. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-09-17, just two days after registration. The site went offline the same day, and as of 2026-10-19 its DNS no longer resolves.
How the scam works
Phishing sites like this one rely on the brand in the address bar to look like an official MetaMask wallet page. Victims are steered into "restoring", "verifying" or "syncing" their wallet. Anyone who types a secret recovery phrase or private key into such a page hands over full control of the wallet, and the funds can be swept within minutes. The served page carried the Chinese title "星澜企业服务 - 企业网站介绍与服务咨询", a generic corporate-services heading, while our classification is MetaMask impersonation phishing.
Evidence
urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and specifically recognized MetaMask branding on the site. MetaMask's own blocklist and the SEAL blocklist list the domain alongside PhishDestroy, which is strong confirmation from the brand owner and the security community. On VirusTotal, 5 of 89 engines flagged it on 2026-09-17: ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, LevelBlue and SOCRadar. That count is modest, but typical for a domain caught within days of launch. Spamhaus DBL lists it as spam, and the domain appears in 4 AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-15 through Gname.com Pte. Ltd. and was detected on 2026-09-17. That short gap fits a disposable domain set up for a quick phishing run. It was hosted on the QINIU Limited network in Singapore, behind a domain-validated certificate from TrustAsia. A certificate of this kind only confirms control of the domain, so the padlock said nothing about the site's legitimacy.
What to do
If you entered your MetaMask recovery phrase or private key on this site, treat the wallet as compromised. Create a new wallet with a fresh phrase and move any remaining assets to it immediately. Do not reuse the old phrase anywhere. If you connected a wallet or signed anything, review and revoke token approvals with a trusted approval-checking tool. MetaMask will never ask for your recovery phrase through a website. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP 154.41.93.241, search logs for past visits, and watch for lookalike MetaMask domains on cheap TLDs such as .icu.

ShortDot zone evidence
The linked repository preserves daily zone observations across seven ShortDot-operated TLDs, including registration volume and abuse-related indicators. This registry context is supporting background and is not an independent detection for the domain in this report.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
虚假网站 — 与正规网站完全一致的克隆网站，仅域名略有改动
猪的屠宰 — 通过Telegram/WhatsApp/交友软件花数周时间建立信任，随后钱被骗走
退款诈骗 — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
