Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Generic Phishing

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / E8

Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - balanceandperformance.de

## 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: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-14 18:09:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-15 00:16:36 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:38:02 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, vht0p9fsyg.balanceandperformance.de, was set up as a generic phishing site, likely to trick visitors into handing over sensitive information. It was flagged by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a strong indication of malicious intent. The site was created on June 14, 2026, and its SSL certificate comes from Let's Encrypt, which is commonly abused by phishers. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.194.184 and displays a default 'Welcome to nginx!' page, suggesting it was either not fully set up or intentionally kept minimal.

PhishDestroy identified this threat through multiple sources, including one security blocklist, and confirmed the domain is now offline. The elevated risk level and generic phishing classification mean it could have been used to harvest login credentials, personal data, or financial information. The fact that it appeared on a blocklist and had a high VT detection rate underscores its danger.

If you visited this site, do not enter any personal information. Change passwords for any accounts you may have used there, and monitor your financial accounts for suspicious activity. Run a security scan on your device and consider reporting the incident to relevant authorities. For ongoing protection, always verify domains on PhishDestroy before interacting with them.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b607cb9cccb39e95209106a9518edf4bcccc43882264c42198cd8db968c1f5a9

## 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 (operator 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.
