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.

Confidence
The page title and description directly copy MetaMask branding while claiming to be a Chrome extension for managing cryptocurrency. Six different antivirus engines independently flagged the content as phishing. The site loads from a GitBook subdomain rather than an official MetaMask domain, and the body text mixes MetaMask instructions with Binance impersonation signals. No contact information, business address, or verifiable company details appear anywhere on the page. The combination of brand impersonation, multiple engine detections, and missing legitimate business markers points to a credential-harvesting or wallet-draining attempt.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The page presents itself as official MetaMask documentation with the title "Metamask® Chrome | Extension® | Bridge to Ethereum-Based". It includes step-by-step instructions for adding custom tokens and uses MetaMask screenshots and branding throughout. The meta description repeats the same promotional language about managing cryptocurrency assets on Ethereum. No contact email, phone number, or physical address is listed anywhere on the page.

Infrastructure

The URL resolves through GitBook's infrastructure at IP 104.18.40.47 with a clean abuse score of 0/100. SSL is valid and issued by Google Trust Services. The page loads external resources from static-2c.gitbook.com, api.gitbook.com, and gitbook.com. Three redirect hops occurred during the scan with no cross-domain or homoglyph activity detected.

Domain History

WHOIS data was unavailable for this subdomain. The parent domain belongs to GitBook, a legitimate documentation platform, which attackers commonly abuse to host fake support pages. No registration age or registrar information could be retrieved.

Web Reputation

Eleven of 92 antivirus engines flagged the page as malicious, with BitDefender, ChainPatrol, Emsisoft, ESET, G-Data, and Kaspersky all marking it as phishing. Browser blocklist feeds returned clean. The site has no global traffic ranking and no presence in independent review aggregators.

What this means for you

Do not download or interact with any extension promoted on this page. Never enter seed phrases, private keys, or wallet credentials on sites that are not the official metamask.io domain. If you already visited this page, scan your device and review any browser extensions you may have installed.

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 mtmskchrpmxtnsion.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

Dealing with crypto? Use a regulated, well-established exchange rather than an unknown site — and never connect your wallet or enter a seed phrase on a page you can't verify.

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

Safety FAQ

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

  • mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io shows every sign of being a brand impersonation — do not enter your login or personal details. Our review tagged it for phishing and crypto fraud. 11 of 92 security engines flag it (11 as outright malicious). This pattern matches throwaway sites built to take money or data and disappear.
  • No — mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io scored just 1/100 on our trust scale, and we detected active threat indicators. We recommend avoiding it entirely: don't log in, pay, download anything, or connect a wallet.
  • If you've already paid or handed over details on mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io, 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 mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io 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.
  • 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.
  • If you entered anything on mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io, assume it was captured. Phishing pages exist purely to harvest what you type — usernames, passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes. Change the password immediately on the real site and anywhere you reused it, enable two-factor authentication, and if you entered card or banking details, contact your bank about the risk of fraud. Also be alert for follow-up "security" calls or emails that try to exploit the same information.
  • You can report mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io 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.
  • 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.
  • Yes. 11 of 92 antivirus and blocklist engines in our malware network flagged mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io, 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.
  • No — mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io is not currently on the major browser blocklist feeds that Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge rely on. Note that blocklists can lag behind brand-new scam domains, so "not listed" is reassuring but not a guarantee on its own.
  • mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (Content Delivery Network). 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.
  • This report is a record of the scan run on July 10, 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 mtmskchrpmxtnsion.gitbook.io has changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan that re-checks every signal from scratch and republishes an updated verdict.
