Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: HTX

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

## 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 reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 12:20:34 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:34:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain apps-htxxio.wixstudio.com has been identified as a confirmed brand impersonation site targeting the brand HTX. The site was designed to mimic the legitimate login page of HTX, potentially to deceive users into entering their credentials, which could then be harvested by attackers.

Analysis indicates that the domain was created on June 08, 2026, and is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. The site uses a combination of technologies including Wix, React, Google Cloud, and Lodash. It also employs HSTS and Google Cloud CDN, and supports HTTP/3. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain has been flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on 3 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. The Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status of the domain is not explicitly mentioned, but its presence on multiple blocklists suggests it has been identified as malicious.

Currently, the domain is offline, likely due to takedown efforts by security organizations or the hosting provider. Despite this, the threat remains elevated as the site could be reactivated at any time. Users who may have interacted with the domain are advised to monitor their accounts for any unauthorized activity and to change their passwords immediately. Security teams should continue to monitor for any related activity and ensure that the domain remains blocked to prevent further incidents.

## 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.
