Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified program-ads-agency.com as an active Meta Ads-themed phishing domain designed to impersonate legitimate advertising platforms. This fraudulent site specifically targets users through fake ad account verification pages, luring victims into entering Meta Business Manager credentials under the guise of account suspension threats. Once harvested, these credentials are exploited for financial fraud, unauthorized ad spend, or further phishing campaigns. The domain leverages urgency and branding deception to bypass user skepticism, making it particularly dangerous for digital marketers and small business owners managing ad accounts. This domain was flagged by 16 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and was registered through Gransy, s.r.o. just days ago on April 17, 2026. The infrastructure is hosted on Cloudflare IP 162.159.140.98 and protected by a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to enhance credibility. Despite its recent registration, the domain has already begun circulating in phishing campaigns targeting Meta Ads users globally. If you accessed program-ads-agency.com or entered credentials, immediately change your Meta Business Manager password and enable two-factor authentication. Revoke any unauthorized app permissions via your Meta Ads account settings. Report suspicious login attempts to Meta and scan your devices for malware. Users should avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails or ads related to this domain and consider using password managers with phishing detection features. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260519-7444AB ## 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-id17635.program-ads-agency.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meta-id17635.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.
