All I gotta add for the time being apart from using it briefly 3 years ago only to realize it is a major security risk for certain individuals. Heard mixed things. Others can prob say more for you but I still urge you and anyone who uses MM to read this.

Quote:Fetching the Malicious Payload: When a user visits the compromised website, the loader script executes in their browser. This script then communicates with the blockchain to retrieve the main malicious payload stored in a remote server. A key aspect of this step is the use of a read-only function call (such as eth_call), which does not create a transaction on the blockchain. This ensures the retrieval of the malware is stealthy and avoids transaction fees (i.e. gas fees).

Payload Execution: Once fetched, the malicious payload is executed on the victim's computer. This can lead to various malicious activities, such as displaying fake login pages, installing information-stealing malware, or deploying ransomware.
