# PhishDestroy threat dossier — begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 11:43:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, Gridinsoft, Seclookup Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: AS396982 Google LLC Hosting org: Google Cloud Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-04-26 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 16:50:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-28 19:40:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 02:42:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dca0c-7e22-7067-91fd-7ee0b34dcb77/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 16:50:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain impersonating legitimate services to steal user credentials. This WixStudio-hosted page poses as a login portal, likely targeting unsuspecting victims with deceptive content. The domain leverages a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (valid but misused) to appear trustworthy, while its infrastructure (IP 34.144.206.118) hosts malicious content designed to harvest login data. This domain shows concerning technical indicators: VirusTotal currently flags it with 0/95 detections, indicating evasion of major antivirus engines at the time of analysis. It resides under WixStudio's infrastructure, a common hosting choice for both legitimate and malicious actors due to its ease of deployment. First observed recently, the domain has already been blocked by two security blocklists (PhishingArmy, OISD) and resolves to a Google Cloud IP address (34.144.206.118), further complicating takedown efforts. Its use of a legitimate SSL provider highlights how threat actors weaponize free certificate authorities to bypass browser security warnings. Users who visited this domain should immediately check for suspicious activity in their accounts, revoke any entered credentials, and enable two-factor authentication where possible. Do not trust this domain for any login attempts. If you provided sensitive information, monitor financial accounts for unauthorized transactions and consider a password reset across other services. Report the domain to PhishDestroy to help protect others from this threat. Avoid visiting or interacting with begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com entirely due to its confirmed malicious nature. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2cc41790ef81b3ad77d17412bd7697b9 TLS cert SHA-256: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab ## 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/begin-exodsweb.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=begin-exodsweb.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.
