MetaMask lookalike domains
Greyphish has recorded 229 domains that resemble MetaMask since February 2026, 45 of them in the last 90 days. Most of them (65%) are combosquats: MetaMask spelled correctly with a word added, most often “wallet”, “app”, “support”. .io carries 41% of them, out of 40 endings in all. The pace has picked up, with 21 in the last 30 days against 11 in the 30 before. The busiest week began 20 April 2026, with 12 new ones. 1,559 certificates for unregistered .ph, .com.ph, .net.ph names (registry wildcard) are excluded: the registry answers for any name under those endings, so nobody had to register one to get a certificate for it.

Recent examples
The 10 most recent, written with [.] so they cannot be clicked. The brand's own domains and registrations held by brand-protection registrars are left out. A lookalike resembles MetaMask; it is not necessarily malicious, and none of these is a claim about who registered it or why.
