# PhishDestroy threat dossier — black-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 19:03:07 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/black-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, Webroot ## 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: 2026-05-04 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-04 19:39:58 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-16 11:37:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-05 01:52:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019df3db-a4fa-72bd-8e47-59e86b8d315f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/black-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.black-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=black-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/black-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/black-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-04 19:40:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] black-desktop.wixstudio.com has been flagged for perpetrating a **cryptocurrency scam**, specifically targeting users with fake investment opportunities disguised as desktop-themed financial tools. The domain operates under a deceptive subdomain structure on WixStudio, leveraging the platform’s hosting services to appear legitimate while distributing fraudulent schemes. Security researchers have assigned a status of 'active' to this threat, indicating ongoing malicious activity as of the latest assessment. This threat is not yet fully investigated, leaving potential victims exposed to financial exploitation. This domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which does not guarantee trustworthiness. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 scanning engines, potentially due to the domain’s recent activity or obfuscation techniques. As a WixStudio subdomain, it inherits the registrar affiliation of Wix.com, though the specific creation date and blocklist status remain unverified in open-source threat intelligence feeds. Trust scores from platforms like Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, and OpenPhish are absent or unreported, suggesting this threat may be newly emergent or deliberately evading detection. The lack of detections should not be interpreted as a clean bill of health, given the sophistication of modern phishing campaigns. To mitigate exposure to this crypto scam, users should avoid interacting with black-desktop.wixstudio.com entirely, particularly any prompts for cryptocurrency transfers or financial investments. Organizations should consider blocking the IP address 34.144.206.118 at the network perimeter to prevent accidental access. Security teams are advised to monitor for similar subdomains on WixStudio or other legitimate hosting services, as threat actors frequently create new domains to bypass takedown efforts. Reporting the domain to platforms like PhishTank, OpenPhish, or local cybersecurity authorities can aid collective defense efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 2cc41790ef81b3ad77d17412bd7697b9 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/black-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=black-desktop.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.
