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.

Wallet-drainer patterns detected

This page uses language and API references consistent with modern crypto wallet-drainer kits. If you connected your wallet or signed a transaction on this site, assume your wallet is compromised — revoke approvals, move funds to a fresh wallet with a new seed phrase, and treat the original as burned.

  • ·Page asks for a wallet seed phrase / recovery phrase — legitimate wallets never do this.

The page title and body text directly copy MetaMask branding and documentation while hosted on mtmskchrcmxtnsion.gitbook.io instead of the real metamask.io domain. Our antivirus network detected the phishing pattern with 14 engines including BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, and Emsisoft all marking it malicious. The site provides no contact email, phone, or address and loads external resources only from gitbook.com infrastructure. No business registration or ownership information appears anywhere on the page. The combination of brand impersonation, missing contact data, and confirmed detections from multiple engines indicates this is a credential-harvesting clone.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as official MetaMask documentation with the title "Metamask® Chrome® Extension® | Getting started with MetaMask" and a meta description that promotes wallet installation and DApp connectivity. Body text walks through wallet creation, network selection, and transaction signing steps that mirror legitimate MetaMask guides. No login forms, contact information, or business details are present. The page explicitly impersonates MetaMask on a non-official domain.

Infrastructure

The site runs on IP 172.64.147.209 with a clean abuse score of 0/100 and only 5 prior reports. SSL certificate is valid from Google Trust Services with 38 days remaining until expiry. Three redirect hops occurred without crossing domains or using IDN characters. External resources load exclusively from static-2c.gitbook.com, api.gitbook.com, and gitbook.com domains.

Domain History

WHOIS data was unavailable for this subdomain. The parent domain gitbook.io is a legitimate documentation platform, but the specific path mtmskchrcmxtnsion.gitbook.io shows no registration history or ownership records in the scan.

Web Reputation

Our antivirus network flagged the URL as malicious with 14 of 92 engines detecting phishing. BitDefender, ESET, Fortinet, Emsisoft, G-Data, and alphaMountain.ai all returned phishing classifications. No traffic ranking data exists and the domain is not indexed in global traffic indexes. Browser blocklist feeds returned clean.

What this means for you

Do not install any wallet extensions or enter recovery phrases on this page. The real MetaMask extension is only available through the official Chrome Web Store and metamask.io domain. Using this site risks exposing your seed phrase or private keys to attackers.

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 mtmskchrcmxtnsion.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.
