  - 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-07-25 13:49:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-30 12:20:32 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-26 00:28:43 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-25 13:49:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

appstart-site.wixstudio.com used for generic phishing

Analysis indicates that the domain appstart-site.wixstudio.com is registered through Wix.com Ltd. The authoritative name server information is not available (NS_NOT_FOUND). DNS resolution returns the IP address 162.159.143.12, which belongs to the Cloudflare network used by Wix hosting. The domain remains active as of the report date. It is listed on a single security blocklist and is specifically blocked by PhishDestroy.

No additional data such as SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, Safe Browsing status, or OTX references are present in the current intelligence set. Consequently, the broader threat landscape surrounding this domain cannot be fully assessed. Defenders should monitor DNS queries for the IP 162.159.143.12 and consider adding the domain to local deny lists, especially for traffic targeting credential capture. Because the domain is hosted on a shared infrastructure, any compromise of the parent Wix platform could affect multiple sites; therefore, organizations using Wix services should verify the integrity of their own subdomains.

Continuous threat intel feeds should be consulted for any future blocklist additions or detection updates. Network defenders are advised to correlate any login anomalies with this indicator and to update intrusion detection signatures accordingly. In the absence of further evidence, the precautionary approach is to treat the domain as malicious and block it at perimeter and endpoint layers.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b3a28e80142aa4908d146d48f8f4cfdf
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.
