# PhishDestroy threat dossier — browser-exudus.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 11:53:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/browser-exudus.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Certego, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Sophos, Webroot 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: Exodus® Web3 Wallet | Exodus® Browser Extension 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: 2026-06-11 08:46:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-11 08:46:39 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-11 12:51:30 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb56e-05f4-77c2-a6a3-0892be4a2c37/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/browser-exudus.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.browser-exudus.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=browser-exudus.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/browser-exudus.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/browser-exudus.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 23:51:16 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, browser-exudus.wixstudio.com, poses a high-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Exodus cryptocurrency wallet users. The site replicates the legitimate Exodus Web3 Wallet browser extension interface, using identical branding, page titles (Exodus® Web3 Wallet | Exodus® Browser Extension), and visual design elements to deceive visitors into entering sensitive wallet credentials or seed phrases. Given the domain's focus on cryptocurrency users, the primary threat is crypto asset theft, where attackers could drain funds from connected wallets once credentials are compromised. The use of official-looking branding and terminology increases the likelihood of successful deception, particularly among users unfamiliar with Exodus's legitimate domain structure. Analysis of the domain's infrastructure reveals multiple indicators of malicious intent. The domain is flagged by 11 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, appears on three security blocklists (PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD), and is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. It resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure with technologies including Wix, React, and Google Cloud CDN. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. Notably, the domain is currently offline, though this status may change. The combination of brand impersonation, blocklist presence, and vendor detections strongly suggests a coordinated effort to defraud Exodus users. Users who visited browser-exudus.wixstudio.com should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, disconnect any wallets or extensions linked to the site and revoke permissions for associated dApps via the official Exodus interface. Monitor all connected wallet addresses for unauthorized transactions, as attackers may have already gained access. Change passwords and seed phrases for all cryptocurrency wallets, even those not directly linked to this domain, as compromised credentials could be reused elsewhere. Report the incident to Exodus support and relevant blockchain security teams to aid in tracking the threat. Additionally, scan local devices for malware, as some crypto drainers deploy secondary payloads to maintain persistence. Exercise caution with future interactions involving cryptocurrency wallets, verifying domain authenticity before entering sensitive information. ## 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/browser-exudus.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=browser-exudus.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.
