Verdict

Compromised gambling affiliate site actively flagged for unwanted software and hosting a malicious WordPress backdoor.

metaottawa.com presents itself as a content hub linking to multiple online casinos, but the site is compromised: the browser threat feed flags it for UNWANTED_SOFTWARE, nine antivirus engines report malicious or phishing detections, and its source code contains a malicious PHP script that enables remote file manipulation and command execution.

Avoid visiting metaottawa.com entirely. The combination of confirmed malware flags, a live backdoor script, and affiliate redirects to gambling sites creates a high-risk environment for malware infection and unwanted software exposure.

01 · Investigation Brief

Investigation Brief

Technical detections confirm active compromise

the browser threat feed explicitly lists the domain under the UNWANTED_SOFTWARE category, indicating the presence of harmful or deceptive software.

Nine independent antivirus engines have flagged the site as malicious, phishing, or malware-related, providing broad engine consensus on the threat.

The site's source code includes a PHP script named wp-helper-002e87 that functions as a backdoor, allowing unauthorized file manipulation and remote command execution on the WordPress server.

Affiliate links to casino domains create exposure path

The site contains multiple affiliate links that redirect visitors to casino domains including ninewin, donbet, betfair betting, BetNinja casino review, GoldenBet casino review, King Hills casino UK, dragonia casino erfahrungen, Casino Lucky8, and Lucky8 France.

These redirects function as a referral hub for gambling operators, exposing visitors to both the compromised landing page and subsequent casino domains.

Why the score is 15

the browser threat feed flags the domain for UNWANTED_SOFTWARE. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

07 · Safety FAQ

Safety FAQ

Common questions, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers reflect the saved verdict and evidence in this report.

Is metaottawa.com a scam or a legit download site?

metaottawa.com is a dangerous malware & deceptive downloads — avoid interacting with it. Our review tagged it for malware and gambling. 12 of 92 security engines flag it (11 as outright malicious). The domain is 1.3 years old through NameCheap, Inc.. This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.

Is metaottawa.com safe to use?

No — metaottawa.com has a Safety Score of 15/100 (Dangerous) because decisive threat evidence was saved with this scan. Leave the site and do not log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.

What should I do if I already gave my details to metaottawa.com?

If you've already paid or handed over details on metaottawa.com, act quickly. 1) Contact your bank or card issuer immediately and ask to dispute the charge or open a chargeback — the sooner you act, the better your odds. 2) Report the site to the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or the FBI's IC3 at ic3.gov, and in the UK to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. 3) If you entered a password, change it on metaottawa.com and anywhere you reused it, and turn on two-factor authentication. 4) Watch your bank and email for follow-up fraud, and keep screenshots as evidence.

Can I get my money back from metaottawa.com?

Often yes, if you act fast. Payments made by credit or debit card can frequently be reversed through a chargeback or dispute — contact your bank right away and explain it was a fraudulent site. Bank transfers and gift-card or voucher payments are much harder to recover, but you should still report them to your bank and to the FTC (reportfraud.ftc.gov) or Action Fraud (actionfraud.police.uk). Avoid any "refund" or "recovery" service that contacts you first — it's usually a follow-up scam.

Is my device infected after visiting metaottawa.com?

Simply loading a page is usually lower-risk than downloading or running a file from it. If you downloaded or opened anything from metaottawa.com, run a full scan with reputable antivirus software and consider it untrusted. If you only viewed the page, keep your browser and OS updated, watch for unexpected pop-ups or new programs, and change passwords from a clean device if you entered any.

How do I report metaottawa.com?

You can report metaottawa.com through several official channels: the U.S. FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov, and — in the UK — Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk. You can also flag it to Google Safe Browsing (safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish) so other browsers warn about it, and report it to the company being impersonated if there is one. Reporting helps get scam sites taken down faster.

Why does metaottawa.com look legitimate if it's a scam?

Modern scams are built to look convincing. A valid SSL padlock, a polished template, stock photos, fake reviews, and a trust badge can all be added in minutes and prove nothing about who runs the site. Scammers buy cheap domains, clone real designs, and copy legal pages wholesale. That's exactly why an automated review that checks the domain's age, hosting, blacklists, and behaviour — rather than just how the page looks — is more reliable than a first impression.

Has metaottawa.com been flagged by antivirus engines?

Yes. 12 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged metaottawa.com, 11 of them as outright malicious. Even a single detection from a reputable engine is a meaningful warning, and multiple detections rarely happen by accident.

Is metaottawa.com on any phishing or malware blacklists?

Yes. metaottawa.com is listed on the major browser blocklist feeds under: UNWANTED_SOFTWARE. Modern browsers use these feeds to warn or block billions of users before a page even loads — a listing here is one of the strongest safety signals there is.

How old is the metaottawa.com domain?

metaottawa.com is 1.3 years old, registered on May 16, 2025 through NameCheap, Inc.. A multi-year registration history is one of the stronger signals against a scam, though it's never a guarantee on its own — established domains can still be misused.

Where is metaottawa.com hosted?

metaottawa.com resolves to an IP operated by Psychz Networks in US (Data Center/Web Hosting/Transit). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad — but hosting that doesn't match a brand's claimed country, or that sits on networks known for abuse, is one of the many signals we weigh alongside the verdict above.

How often is the metaottawa.com report updated?

This report is a record of the scan run on September 5, 2026, and the verdict reflects that point in time. Scam sites change fast — they can go live, get flagged, or vanish within days — so if you believe something about metaottawa.com has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
