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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-01 20:47:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-04 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-02 00:02:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1f00-73b7-705e-8e44-34dc93025fec/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/appstart-ledgrecdn.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.appstart-ledgrecdn.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=appstart-ledgrecdn.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/appstart-ledgrecdn.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/appstart-ledgrecdn.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 20:55:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain appstart-ledgrecdn.wixstudio.com is identified as a credential theft threat. The current status of this domain is active, indicating ongoing usage in potentially malicious activities. There is no specific brand being impersonated at this time, which adds to the generic nature of the threat. Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. As of the latest data, it is registered with an undisclosed registrar. The domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating a lack of detection for malicious behaviors at this stage. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is generally trusted but does not provide assurance against the intent of the domain. The domain’s creation date and blocklist count have not been provided in the available intelligence, which may signify a lack of historical data or prior incidents. Given its current status of being active and under investigation, it is crucial for users to exercise caution and avoid interacting with this domain. Ongoing monitoring is recommended while assessing the potential for future detections. Users should be advised to maintain updated security solutions and remain vigilant against unsolicited communications associated with this domain. It is advisable to report any suspicious activities related to this domain to appropriate authorities to aid in mitigating risks associated with credential theft. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 ## 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 (operator 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/appstart-ledgrecdn.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=appstart-ledgrecdn.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
