The domain starts-livedesktops.wixstudio.com is currently flagged as part of a generic phishing infrastructure. Technical analysis shows that the hostname resolves to the IP address 162.159.143.12, which is hosted by the Wix.com Ltd. platform. The domain registration information confirms Wix.com Ltd. as the registrar, indicating the site is likely leveraging Wix’s shared hosting environment. A scan on VirusTotal recorded activity from 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines; none of the engines reported a detection, but the absence of a detection does not constitute proof of benign intent.
The domain appears on a single external blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, confirming that at least one security community has observed malicious use. No DNS NS records were retrievable (NS_NOT_FOUND), suggesting that standard name‑server queries failed or were purposely obscured, which can hinder rapid reputation checks. No additional data such as Safe Browsing verdicts, Open Threat Exchange (OTX) indicators, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, trust‑score metrics, page title, or direct evidence links were supplied, leaving those aspects of the site’s behavior unverified.
Given the confirmed resolution to a Wix‑hosted IP, presence on a blocklist, and active designation by PhishDestroy, defenders should treat traffic to this domain as potentially malicious. Recommended mitigations include adding the domain to internal block lists, monitoring DNS queries for the associated IP, and employing URL‑filtering solutions that reference the blocklist entry. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as the domain’s status may evolve if additional detections or evidence emerge.
