## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-13 13:40:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies balance-meta.invoice-ads-manager.com as a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting Metamask users, with no known drainer kit involvement. 
   
   This domain was flagged by 21 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, registered through Gransy, s.r.o., and resolves to IP 162.159.140.98, utilizing a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, with a creation date not publicly available, and is currently listed on several blocklists.

   balance-meta.invoice-ads-manager.com is currently offline, likely due to takedown efforts, however, the risk remains elevated due to the potential for similar domains to be created, users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with Metamask related emails or websites, and verify authenticity through official channels, as the unique seed 8e713c indicates a specific campaign, users should remain vigilant to protect their assets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      8969c27d44143e149c8b7269b95ce544c9834542d146dfcf8d6a7bd5381a2f4a

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
