## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 19:53:44 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-pionexx-io.wixstudio.com has been identified as a generic phishing site impersonating Pionex US, and is currently offline. This domain presents a significant risk to users attempting to log into their Pionex accounts, as it is specifically designed to capture login credentials and other sensitive information.

Analysis indicates that apps-pionexx-io.wixstudio.com was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. The domain is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may lend it a false sense of legitimacy. On VirusTotal, the domain has been flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors, signaling a moderate level of suspicion. Additionally, the domain appears on 3 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD, further confirming its malicious nature.

Given the confirmed status of the domain as a phishing site, it is recommended that all users avoid visiting apps-pionexx-io.wixstudio.com. Security teams should ensure that this domain is blocked at the network level to prevent any accidental access. Furthermore, any users who may have entered their login credentials or other sensitive information on this site should immediately change their passwords and monitor their accounts for any unauthorized activity.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1
TLS cert SHA-256:      c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4

## 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.
