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 title and body text directly copy MetaMask branding while hosting on metskchroem-extsion.gitbook.io, a domain that is not owned by the real wallet provider. Eight of 92 engines, including BitDefender, Emsisoft, and ESET, flagged the URL as phishing. The site loads external domains including darylapsebaryanmar.com, which has no connection to MetaMask. No email, phone, or address appears anywhere on the page, and the domain carries zero traffic ranking. These signals together point to a credential-harvesting clone rather than an official resource.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as the official MetaMask Chrome extension with repeated headings about storing cryptocurrency. Body text promotes a download link but provides no verifiable publisher information or links back to metamask.io. No contact methods are listed, and the page contains zero social links or business registration details.

Infrastructure

The URL resolves through IP 172.64.147.209 with a clean abuse score yet still triggered multiple phishing detections. SSL certificate is valid from Google Trust Services and expires in 38 days. Three redirect hops occurred before landing on the GitBook-hosted content, and external scripts pull from static-2c.gitbook.com plus the unrelated darylapsebaryanmar.com domain.

Domain History

WHOIS data was unavailable for this subdomain. The parent domain uses GitBook's infrastructure, which attackers frequently abuse to host fake documentation and wallet installers. No traffic index or established history appears in global ranking data.

Web Reputation

Eight engines returned malicious verdicts, specifically citing phishing. BitDefender, ChainPatrol, Emsisoft, ESET, G-Data, and LevelBlue all flagged the page. Browser blocklists remained clean, but the engine consensus outweighs that single negative signal.

What this means for you

Do not download any wallet software or enter seed phrases on this page. The combination of brand impersonation, phishing detections, and missing contact information indicates a scam designed to steal crypto credentials.

What to do

Brand impersonation detected

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

  • Do not interact with metskchroem-extsion.gitbook.io

    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.

Safer Alternatives

Trying to handle crypto? Use a safe option instead

Suggestions for safety only — not endorsements. Always verify the address bar before signing in or paying, even on well-known sites.
