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: 2026-05-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-01 17:54:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-02 01:40:03 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-01 23:06:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019de405-f0eb-727e-8ec1-80d4cf5ed219/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/appxstart-live.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.appxstart-live.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=appxstart-live.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/appxstart-live.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/appxstart-live.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-01 17:55:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies appxstart-live.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain engaged in a crypto drainer campaign. This domain currently mimics legitimate services to deceive users into authorizing unauthorized cryptocurrency transactions. The threat remains under investigation as analysts assess the full scope of its operations and potential impact on victims. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest scan, indicating it evades detection despite its malicious nature. It resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and operates under a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, lending it an air of legitimacy. The domain is hosted on Wix's infrastructure via wixstudio.com, raising concerns about the abuse of reputable hosting providers for phishing purposes. Additional telemetry reveals the domain is newly registered, with no recorded blocklist entries or trust score data at this time, underscoring the need for heightened vigilance. Analysts recommend users avoid interacting with appxstart-live.wixstudio.com or any associated links due to the confirmed crypto drainer threat. Organizations should implement network-level blocking for this domain and IP address to prevent potential compromise. PhishDestroy users are advised to verify the domain's reputation and report any suspicious activity to aid ongoing investigations. Continuous monitoring of this domain is strongly encouraged, given its current status as an active and evolving threat. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/appxstart-live.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=appxstart-live.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
