# PhishDestroy threat dossier — connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 22:50:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 76/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, ESET, Gridinsoft ## 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: 2026-04-17 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: 2026-04-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-17 08:53:21 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:09:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-17 14:49:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d99fe-b7fe-76d8-aebe-7162d34a4170/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-17 08:54:18 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-io-homepage.wixstudio.com as a generic phishing site posing as a cryptocurrency wallet connection portal. This domain is designed to trick users into connecting their crypto wallets under the false pretense of accessing a legitimate service. Once a wallet is connected, the drainer silently authorizes and executes unauthorized transactions, draining funds without the victim’s knowledge. Security analysts strongly advise against interacting with any untrusted crypto-related domains, especially those hosted on unfamiliar platforms like WixStudio, which has been repeatedly abused for phishing campaigns. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy after resolving to IP 34.144.206.118 and showing 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans at the time of analysis. The site uses a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, but SSL alone does not guarantee safety. The domain appears to be recently active and lacks a clear, verifiable origin or legitimate business purpose. Such patterns are consistent with opportunistic phishing operations targeting cryptocurrency users. If you visited connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com, do not connect any cryptocurrency wallets or enter private keys. Disconnect your device from the internet to prevent further unauthorized activity. Revoke any wallet permissions you may have granted through your wallet settings or blockchain explorer tools. Report the domain to PhishDestroy and consider using a hardware wallet or clean environment for future transactions. Monitor your wallet and transaction history closely for suspicious activity. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 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/connect-io-homepage.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=connect-io-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.
