# PhishDestroy threat dossier — approve-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 13:36:08 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/approve-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Gridinsoft, Webroot ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: AS396982 Google LLC Hosting org: Google Cloud Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-04-29 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - wixstudio.com ## 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: 2026-04-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-29 14:31:38 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-01 13:44:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-30 02:10:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd900-fd1e-705a-a70b-2a3f3746c313/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/approve-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.approve-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=approve-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/approve-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/approve-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-29 14:32:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain approve-desktop.wixstudio.com as a high-risk crypto-draining scam posing as a legitimate cryptocurrency service. This site attempts to trick users into connecting their wallets under the false pretense of transaction approval, authorization, or deposit processing. Upon connection, malicious scripts could drain approved tokens or steal private keys without the victim’s knowledge. This domain was flagged due to its active status and lack of detection across reputable security engines—VirusTotal currently shows 0 out of 95 scanners detecting it, indicating it may be newly deployed or deliberately evading detection. It operates on infrastructure linked to IP 34.144.206.118 and utilizes a legitimate SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, likely to appear trustworthy. While the registrar and creation date remain unverified in public records, the absence of detections and recent activity strongly suggest this is a fraudulent endpoint designed to exploit user trust in legitimate services. If you visited approve-desktop.wixstudio.com—or entered wallet credentials or approved any transactions—disconnect your wallet immediately and revoke any suspicious approvals using tools like revoke.cash. Do not interact with this domain further. Scan your system for malware, enable two-factor authentication on all financial accounts, and if funds were stolen, report the incident to local law enforcement and your jurisdiction’s cybercrime unit. Always verify URLs against known legitimate services before entering sensitive information. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab ## 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/approve-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=approve-desktop.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.
