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 page mimics MetaMask's developer interface (Remix IDE) but runs on ethstudio.top, a domain registered just 11 days ago with no legitimate business presence. Kaspersky, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and SOCRadar all classify it as phishing. The page contains no contact email, phone, or address — a hallmark of credential-harvesting operations. The body text explicitly warns users not to paste untrusted code and to connect MetaMask, which is the exact social-engineering hook: visitors are lured into thinking they're using a legitimate Solidity compiler, then prompted to connect their real MetaMask wallet. The .top TLD is heavily overrepresented in scam farms. Combined with the brand impersonation, zero contact data, and antivirus consensus, this is a wallet-draining phishing site.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page displays a fake Remix IDE (Solidity compiler interface) with a prominent 'Connect to MetaMask' button. The body text warns users not to paste untrusted code and to verify code safety before deploying — a social-engineering tactic that builds false trust before the credential harvest. No legitimate business information, privacy policy, or terms of service are present.

Infrastructure

Hosted on IP 37.120.239.34 with a clean abuse score (0/100) and zero abuse reports, suggesting the IP itself is newly provisioned or rotated. SSL certificate is valid (Let's Encrypt, 78 days to expiry). External resources load from Cloudflare CDN, Google Tag Manager, and unpkg.com — all legitimate CDNs, but commonly used by phishing sites to avoid detection.

Domain History

Registered 11 days ago via NameSilo with privacy protection disabled. The .top TLD is a low-trust extension heavily favored by scam farms. No legitimate business registration, no historical reputation, and no indexing in global traffic databases.

Web Reputation

Kaspersky, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, and SOCRadar all flag the domain as phishing. Fortinet flags it as spam. Browser blocklists are currently clean, likely because the domain is too new to have been widely reported. Our sandbox did not flag it, but the antivirus consensus and brand impersonation are definitive.

Risk Factors
7
  • Domain registered only 11 days ago on a low-trust .top TLD — hallmark of ephemeral phishing operations.
  • Three major antivirus engines (Kaspersky, Forcepoint, SOCRadar) classify it as phishing; Fortinet flags it as spam.
  • Impersonates MetaMask's official Remix IDE interface on an unofficial domain to trick users into connecting their wallets.
  • Zero contact information (no email, phone, or address) — typical of credential-harvesting sites designed to disappear after the scam.
  • Prompts users to connect MetaMask immediately after warning them about untrusted code — a social-engineering hook designed to lower defenses.
  • Loads external resources from legitimate CDNs (Cloudflare, Google Tag Manager, unpkg) to evade detection while maintaining a professional appearance.
  • No business registration, no privacy policy, no terms of service — no legitimate operational infrastructure.
Positive Signals
3
  • SSL certificate is valid and issued by Let's Encrypt.
  • Hosting IP has zero abuse reports and a clean reputation score.
  • No malware detected in our sandbox analysis.
AI Recommendation
Do not visit this site. Do not connect your MetaMask wallet or any cryptocurrency wallet to this domain. If you have already connected your wallet, immediately transfer all funds to a new wallet address and revoke all token approvals in your wallet's security settings.

Brand impersonation detected

This page is styled as a known brand but is not the brand's real site.

  • Do not interact with ethstudio.top

    Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.

  • Go to the brand's real site directly

    Type the brand name into a search engine or open it from your bookmarks — don't use links from emails, SMS, ads, or social posts, which are the delivery vectors for impersonation.

  • Never download or sign in here

    Even if the page "just" offers a download or a giveaway, impersonation pages frequently deliver malware or set up follow-up phishing. Assume anything accepted from this site is hostile.

  • Report the impersonation to the brand

    Most major brands have a dedicated abuse or anti-phishing reporting channel — reporting helps them take the site down and protects other users.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review flags ethstudio.top as dangerous. Multiple threat indicators were detected — treat the site as a scam until proven otherwise.
  • No — ethstudio.top scored 1/100 on our trust scale. We detected active threat indicators, so we recommend avoiding the site entirely.
  • Yes. ethstudio.top presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Let's Encrypt · YE1, expiring in 78 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • ethstudio.top is 11 days old, registered on 6/3/2026 through NameSilo,LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.
  • 4 out of 92 antivirus engines in our malware network flagged ethstudio.top as malicious or suspicious (3 outright malicious). Even one detection is a meaningful signal.
  • No. ethstudio.top is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • ethstudio.top resolves to an IP operated by M247 LTD Amsterdam Infrastructure in NL (usage type: Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 15, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around ethstudio.top have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
