Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies meta-id17629.program-ads-agency.com as an active phishing domain masquerading as a legitimate advertising agency. This site lures victims under the guise of professional ad services but is engineered to harvest login credentials, payment data, or install malware under the false promise of high-reward campaigns. The domain leverages a fraudulent web interface mimicking reputable advertising platforms, commonly targeting marketers and small businesses seeking media placements. As of the latest analysis, this domain remains live and continues to propagate via malicious email campaigns and deceptive online advertisements. This domain was flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating significant but not universal detection consensus. It was registered through Gransy, s.r.o., a domain registrar known for accommodating high-risk registrations, and went live on April 17, 2026—an unusually recent creation date that suggests a hastily deployed operation. The site is secured with a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, a tactic commonly used by phishers to appear legitimate and evade browser warnings. It resolves to IP address 162.159.140.98, which is associated with cloud hosting environments frequently abused for short-lived malicious campaigns. If you have visited this site or received unsolicited communications referencing program-ads-agency.com, cease all interaction immediately. Do not input any login credentials, financial information, or download files from the page. Clear your browser cache and cookies related to this domain. If you entered sensitive data, change your passwords on all related accounts and enable two-factor authentication. Report the domain to your email provider and cybersecurity team. Consider using a reputable ad-blocker or DNS filtering service (e.g., Quad9, OpenDNS) to prevent further exposure. This domain poses a high risk of credential theft and financial fraud—treat all associated links and emails as compromised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260519-9921C7 ## 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-id17629.program-ads-agency.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meta-id17629.program-ads-agency.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.
