  We present our results on analyzing and understanding the behavior and
security of various metaverse platforms incorporating cryptocurrencies. We
obtained the top metaverse coins with a capitalization of at least 25 million
US dollars and the top metaverse domains for the coins, and augmented our data
with name registration information (via whois), including the hosting DNS IP
addresses, registrant location, registrar URL, DNS service provider, expiry
date and check each metaverse website for information on fiat currency for
cryptocurrency. The result from virustotal.com includes the communication
files, passive DNS, referrer files, and malicious detections for each metaverse
domain. Among other insights, we discovered various incidents of malicious
detection associated with metaverse websites. Our analysis highlights
indicators of (in)security, in the correlation sense, with the files and other
attributes that are potentially responsible for the malicious activities.
