## 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: 2026-06-29 10:54:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain balancer.to has been identified as a brand impersonation threat targeting the cryptocurrency platform Balancer. The current investigation indicates no evidence of a crypto drainer kit associated with this domain, but its active status warrants further surveillance due to the potential risk it poses to users seeking to engage with the legitimate Balancer ecosystem.

In terms of technical indicators, balancer.to was created on June 24, 2026. As of the latest scan, the domain has a VirusTotal score of 0/95, meaning it has not yet been flagged by any detection engines. It is registered through the Government of the Kingdom of Tonga and resolves to the IP address 172.67.145.4. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, adding a layer of believability to the domain's operation. There are currently no entries on known blocklists, but given the brand impersonation threat level, ongoing monitoring is required.

At this time, balancer.to remains active and the investigation is classified as under investigation. The response actions include monitoring user reports and threat intelligence feeds for any developments. Given the lack of detections but the nature of the threat, users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with any communications or links associated with this domain. Further analysis and potential report updates will follow as more information becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260629-BEC0D8
Favicon MD5:       12aaf425ee502e120dd0e01f3058763c
TLS cert SHA-256:      8fb2ef9380d82333ad2f33a31e5f97158f75ddf083fee0fb5a68c8ae9a7259b1

## 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.
