# PhishDestroy threat dossier — aperoto.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 23:30:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/aperoto.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 49/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Gridinsoft, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: Log In® | eToro™ ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:31:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:39:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential theft operation targeting eToro users. Analysis indicates the site, aperoto.wixstudio.com, was designed to harvest login credentials through brand impersonation, presenting itself as the legitimate eToro platform with an identical page title: Log In® | eToro™. The domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and hosted on infrastructure utilizing Wix, React, Google Cloud, and HTTP/3 protocols. Security vendors detected malicious activity, with 4 out of 95 engines on VirusTotal flagging the domain, while three security blocklists—PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD—previously blocked access to it. The SSL certificate was issued by Let’s Encrypt, and the site employed HSTS and Google Cloud CDN, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate despite its fraudulent intent. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was created with a future date (June 2026), a tactic occasionally used to evade immediate detection or to exploit registration loopholes. The use of Wix’s platform, combined with React and Lodash, indicates a low-effort but potentially effective phishing kit, likely deployed to exploit users unfamiliar with eToro’s official domain structure. The domain’s presence on multiple blocklists and its takedown status further corroborate its malicious classification. No associated IP addresses or hosting details were provided, but the reliance on Google Cloud infrastructure suggests a scalable, cloud-based phishing operation. Mitigation steps for organizations and users include immediate validation of eToro-related communications. Users should verify domain authenticity by ensuring the URL matches eToro’s official site (etoro.com) and avoid entering credentials on any third-party login pages. Security teams should update blocklists to include this domain and monitor for similar impersonation attempts using Wix or other low-code platforms. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced for all financial and trading accounts to mitigate credential theft risks. Additionally, monitoring for anomalous login attempts or unauthorized access linked to this domain is recommended, particularly for users who may have interacted with it prior to its takedown. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 ## 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/aperoto.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=aperoto.wixstudio.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.
