## 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: 2026-07-01 15:00:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The risk level associated with appstarting-ledgrs.wixstudio.com is currently classified as under investigation, primarily due to its designation as a generic phishing threat. This type of threat may involve attempts to deceive users into providing personal or financial information by mimicking legitimate sources.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that the domain is currently active and resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118. VirusTotal indicates a clean slate with 0 out of 95 detections, suggesting no immediate flags, which can mislead users into thinking the domain is safe. Specific details such as the domain's registrar and creation date remain under further investigation, as they are critical for assessing the legitimacy of the domain. Additionally, the domain has not been found on known blocklists, which further complicates its detection as a phishing site.

To mitigate the risks associated with this domain, users should exercise heightened caution when interacting with it. Organizations should implement security awareness training that emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing URLs and verifying the authenticity of requests for sensitive information. Furthermore, employing advanced threat detection tools may aid in monitoring for any emerging indicators of compromise related to this domain.

## 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.
