These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

The domain name 'apps-metamassk-io' is a deliberate misspelling of MetaMask designed to deceive users into thinking they're accessing the legitimate wallet application. Six antivirus engines—BitDefender, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, alphaMountain.ai, and ChainPatrol—classify it as phishing or malicious. The hosting IP 34.144.206.118 carries 19 abuse reports and a score of 15/100, indicating it's been used for malicious activity before. The site is hosted on Wix Studio, a free platform commonly abused for credential-harvesting attacks because it requires minimal verification. The domain itself is old (3463 days), but age alone does not confer legitimacy when combined with phishing-engine consensus and typosquatting tactics. This is a textbook credential-harvesting operation targeting cryptocurrency users.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The domain name 'apps-metamassk-io' mimics MetaMask's branding with a single-letter typo ('metamassk' instead of 'metamask'). This is a classic homoglyph attack designed to catch users who mistype or click a malicious link. The site is hosted on Wix Studio, a free website builder that does not require business verification, making it an ideal platform for phishing operations.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 34.144.206.118 (Google Cloud), which carries 19 abuse reports and a reputation score of 15/100. The SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt R13, 46 days to expiry), which lends false legitimacy—attackers routinely obtain free SSL certificates to bypass browser warnings. The domain uses a single redirect with no homoglyph or IDN tricks in the redirect chain itself.

Domain History

The domain is 3463 days old (approximately 9.5 years), but this age is misleading. Attackers often register or repurpose old domains to evade reputation filters. The registrar is GoDaddy.com, LLC, with privacy protection disabled, though the registrant details are not provided in this scan.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flag this site as phishing or malicious: BitDefender, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, alphaMountain.ai, and ChainPatrol. The site is not indexed in global traffic rankings, consistent with a newly-deployed or low-traffic phishing operation. Browser blocklists are currently clean, likely because the site is too new or obscure to have been reported at scale yet.
