TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Credential Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE

Page title:      404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio
HTTP response:   404

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / R13
Expires:    2026-07-29
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - 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.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
First detected:    2026-06-09 08:27:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-09 08:22:55 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:50:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 00:49:56 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, authupholdtcomcdn.wixstudio.com, is identified as a credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive authentication prompts. Analysis indicates the domain mimics legitimate login portals, likely leveraging social engineering tactics to extract sensitive credentials such as usernames, passwords, and multi-factor authentication codes. No specific brand impersonation or drainer kit signatures were detected in initial scans, though the infrastructure aligns with common phishing frameworks exploiting cloud-based hosting services.

Technical indicators reveal the domain is flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with a single entry on a security blocklist. It resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure, and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for encrypted communications. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, though no creation date was provided in available intelligence. Technologies detected include Wix, React, Google Cloud CDN, and HTTP/3, suggesting a modern, cloud-native phishing deployment designed to evade detection and enhance scalability.

As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, the infrastructure remains a potential vector for future malicious activity, particularly given its use of reputable cloud services and valid SSL certificates. Response actions should include monitoring for domain reactivation, analyzing historical DNS records for additional indicators, and updating blocklists to prevent re-emergence. Organizations are advised to review logs for connections to 34.144.206.118 and implement strict filtering for domains leveraging similar hosting patterns or certificate authorities.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a
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.
