# PhishDestroy threat dossier — connect-homepage.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 11:30:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/connect-homepage.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## 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: 2026-04-04 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-04 23:36:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:05:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-05 10:27:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a35-589c-76b4-9a32-d8817aae4086/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/connect-homepage.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.connect-homepage.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=connect-homepage.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/connect-homepage.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/connect-homepage.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-04 23:37:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies connect-homepage.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain masquerading as a legitimate Wix login portal. This site was confirmed under investigation for generic phishing tactics, specifically targeting users through deceptive login prompts. The domain is currently active and poses a credible threat to unwary visitors seeking to access Wix services. This domain resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 and operates under a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, a common tactic to lend false legitimacy to phishing pages. VirusTotal currently flags 0 of 95 detection engines, indicating delayed recognition by security vendors. The domain was registered recently, though the exact creation date remains unverified in public records. Despite its low blocklist count, the lack of early detection underscores the importance of proactive threat analysis for domains hosting login interfaces. Given the active status and low initial detection rates, users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with connect-homepage.wixstudio.com. Verify all URLs before entering credentials and rely on official Wix domains (wix.com) for secure logins. Organizations should monitor network traffic for connections to this IP (34.144.206.118) and consider blocking it to prevent potential credential harvesting. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain and will update findings as new intelligence emerges. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 ## 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/connect-homepage.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=connect-homepage.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.
