# PhishDestroy threat dossier — meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-20 19:37:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 64/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 17/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Mimecast, Netcraft, OpenPhish, Seclookup, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 162.159.140.98 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gransy, s.r.o. Nameservers: ["ns.gransy.com", "ns2.gransy.com", "ns3.gransy.com", "ns4.gransy.com", "ns5.gransy.com"] Registered: 2026-05-05 Page title: Accounts Centre HTTP response: 429 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: ba4094cd67b936db0d1ef41d0c94fd2051a71d3541a3fe181797175498533aa9 ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-05 03:30:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-05 02:03:16 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-20 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-12 00:01:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019df5de-3998-76a3-b6dc-3d5d300e2d6a/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/fe8d4f2c-8ad3-4dc7-8e6c-9ecebc1edffe Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 17:03:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain poses a threat as it attempts to impersonate a legitimate login page, specifically targeting users with a fake Accounts Centre page. PhishDestroy identifies this as a crypto drainer, which can lead to significant financial losses. The domain was created on May 05, 2026, and resolves to IP 162.159.140.98, with 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagging it as malicious, and it is currently offline, having been taken down after being registered through Gransy, s.r.o. and appearing on 1 security blocklist with an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services / WE1. The indicators of this threat are clear, with the domain being relatively new and already flagged by a significant number of security vendors, which suggests that it is indeed malicious. The fact that it has been taken offline indicates that efforts are being made to mitigate its impact, but it is still important for users to be aware of the potential risks. The unique seed 05c291 has been used to identify and track this domain, ensuring that the warning messages and alerts are varied and effective. If a user has visited this domain, they should immediately verify their account activity and report any suspicious transactions to their bank or financial institution. It is also recommended that they change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security. By taking these precautions, users can protect themselves from potential financial losses and help to prevent the spread of this crypto drainer. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260505-AB925F Favicon MD5: fafaaae1a9f39c6d85756bb6f281a6a1 TLS cert SHA-256: ba4094cd67b936db0d1ef41d0c94fd2051a71d3541a3fe181797175498533aa9 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meta-balance.invoice-ads-manager.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
