# PhishDestroy threat dossier — bitqinex.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 20:45:42 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/bitqinex.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 93/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, PREBYTES Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Page title: Log In - Bitfinex ## 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: 2026-06-18 08:27:43 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 12:06:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed969-371e-76de-999b-7865f79efb3a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/bitqinex.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.bitqinex.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=bitqinex.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/bitqinex.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/bitqinex.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 19:53:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, bitqinex.wixstudio.com, operates as a credential-harvesting phishing site specifically designed to impersonate the legitimate cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex. The page title, 'Log In - Bitfinex,' directly mimics the authentic login portal, increasing the likelihood of deception for users attempting to access their accounts. Analysis indicates the site was engineered to capture sensitive login credentials, including usernames, passwords, and potentially two-factor authentication codes, which could lead to unauthorized account access and financial theft. The use of a subdomain under wixstudio.com suggests an attempt to exploit a reputable hosting service to lend false legitimacy to the phishing infrastructure. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a widely used registrar. The site's SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a common practice among phishing domains to simulate security. At the time of assessment, the domain appeared on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. VirusTotal detection metrics report that 5 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, indicating a moderate but elevated level of consensus regarding its fraudulent nature. The domain has since been taken offline, though its prior activity underscores the persistent threat posed by credential-harvesting campaigns. Users who visited bitqinex.wixstudio.com or entered credentials on the site should immediately take corrective action to mitigate potential risks. Affected individuals are advised to change their Bitfinex account passwords and enable multi-factor authentication if not already active. Additionally, users should review their account activity for any unauthorized transactions or modifications. Monitoring for suspicious emails or messages is recommended, as compromised credentials may be used in subsequent phishing or social engineering attacks. If financial loss is suspected, reporting the incident to the relevant exchange and local cybercrime authorities is strongly encouraged. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 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/bitqinex.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=bitqinex.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.
