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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 03:49:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 01:55:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-02 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b5c-b904-73ca-bafe-c5d832809d16/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a21aa024-07c2-4479-8c19-e95ee48313e5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ballarksf.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ballarksf.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ballarksf.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ballarksf.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ballarksf.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 05:06:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain ballarksf.org is currently active and flagged for credential theft phishing, specifically impersonating a nonprofit sports foundation. Analysis indicates the site is designed to harvest login credentials from visitors under the guise of a legitimate organization, as evidenced by its page title, 'Home - Ballark Sports Foundation,' and the use of WordPress infrastructure commonly exploited for phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 13, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC, and resolves to the IP address 163.61.188.7. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors on VirusTotal, and it holds a trust score of 0/100 according to Gridinsoft. The site employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, WordPress, MySQL, PHP, and frontend libraries such as ZURB Foundation, Swiper, Moment.js, and jQuery Migrate, which are consistent with both legitimate and malicious deployments. The domain remains active and unblocked, posing an ongoing risk to users who may mistake it for a legitimate sports foundation. Organizations and individuals are advised to block access to 163.61.188.7 and ballarksf.org at the network level. Security teams should monitor for credential submission attempts originating from this domain and update detection rules to include the domain, IP, and associated SSL certificate thumbprint. Users should be educated to verify domain authenticity before entering credentials, particularly when prompted by unsolicited communications referencing sports or nonprofit organizations. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-363E9D Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 0bc3eb1270c2a0108a55eeabc710e88a8ec02d7e65629e303b15ccddb3b6d19f ## 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 (operator 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/ballarksf.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ballarksf.org Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
