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: 2026-04-28 Page title: Accounts Centre ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-10 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 80599d88bf7af7459f368bba40140eacde428e85d80ff8b8198ccf2e699d9801 ## 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-13 03:56:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-13 00:57:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-13 13:40:01 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-13 06:38:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e1ed4-7e8e-763b-af57-11c63a93bf10/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/69519f36-2d1d-446c-807a-e3fb1ed4ce55 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/meta-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.meta-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=meta-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/meta-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/meta-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-13 03:57:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies meta-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com as a confirmed Google invoice-themed phishing domain currently active in the wild, posing an elevated risk to potential victims. This domain specifically targets Google Ads users through a spoofed invoice scam, purporting to be related to advertising payments. The infrastructure is hosted on IP address 162.159.140.98 and was registered through Gransy, s.r.o. on April 28, 2026. VirusTotal analysis shows that 18 of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious. Additionally, the site operates under a Google Trust Services SSL certificate, which may be used to deceive users into believing the page is legitimate. The domain remains unblocked by most major threat intelligence platforms at this time, compounding the risk of successful user engagement. This campaign represents an active and ongoing threat, leveraging both social engineering through invoice impersonation and technical deception via a trusted SSL certificate. The domain's recent registration date and low detection rate among security vendors make it particularly dangerous, as it may evade automated defenses. Users who encounter this domain should not interact with it or enter any sensitive information. Organizations should immediately block meta-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com at the network perimeter, update email filtering rules to quarantine similar lures, and consider updating user awareness training to highlight invoice-themed phishing tactics. This domain should be treated as high-confidence malicious and added to all relevant blocklists to prevent further exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260513-CE333E TLS cert SHA-256: 80599d88bf7af7459f368bba40140eacde428e85d80ff8b8198ccf2e699d9801 ## 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-id17667.invoice-ads-manager.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meta-id17667.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.
