Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies meta-setting.program-ads-agency.com as an active Google Ads phishing scam designed to steal credentials under the guise of Google Ads settings. This malicious domain mimics legitimate Google services, tricking users into entering sensitive account information. The threat is elevated due to its use of a Google Trust Services SSL certificate and propagation through Google Ads, increasing the likelihood of successful phishing attacks. Users who encounter ads or links pointing to this domain should treat it as a high-risk threat to their Google account security and personal data. This domain poses a credible phishing threat, demonstrated by its detection across multiple security platforms. VirusTotal confirms that 11 out of 95 security vendors flag meta-setting.program-ads-agency.com as malicious. Registered through Gransy, s.r.o. on April 17, 2026, this domain is exceptionally new, suggesting an opportunistic campaign exploiting Google Ads and SSL trust indicators. The presence of a Google Trust Services SSL certificate further enhances its deceptive appearance, making it a convincing facade for credential harvesting. The combination of a newly registered domain, partial blocklist coverage, and spoofed legitimacy indicates a targeted and evolving threat. Users who visited this domain or interacted with its content should immediately assess potential exposure. If any account credentials, payment details, or personal information were entered, those credentials must be changed immediately and monitored for unauthorized activity. Run a full antivirus scan and consider enabling multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts. Report the domain to Google Ads and your cybersecurity team to aid in takedown efforts. Avoid clicking any future ads or links from this domain, as it remains an active phishing destination. Stay vigilant against similar campaigns using newly registered domains with spoofed SSL certificates. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-FFA316 TLS cert SHA-256: 72c6dfd13b508e5a9fbb48106fac20980951a5a68e3a73ee01c38a2515d8bbc7 ## 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-setting.program-ads-agency.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=meta-setting.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.
