# PhishDestroy threat dossier — connect-live-us.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 10:20:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/connect-live-us.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Certego, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue 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 Registered: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 Page title: Ledger® Live Wallet—Getting Started ## 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: 2016-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-20 08:56:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-20 06:59:13 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 12:16:43 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 12:03:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ee3d0-082d-7608-a787-0ecb888c007e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/57791559-32a8-4415-ac48-0a8213c4798b Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/connect-live-us.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.connect-live-us.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=connect-live-us.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/connect-live-us.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/connect-live-us.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:27:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain connect-live-us.wixstudio.com is flagged as malicious by 6 out of 91 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a significant threat level. Despite its takedown, it previously posed a risk by leveraging its US-based hosting through Google LLC. Registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, the domain was created in 2016 but only detected by PhishDestroy in June 2026. The domain's association with Let's Encrypt for SSL certification and a platform risk score of 68/100 suggest it was used for sophisticated phishing attacks. Its abuse score of 15/100 indicates moderate malicious activity before being taken offline. The domain's presence on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, highlights its threat potential during its active period. PhishDestroy's early detection pipeline identifies threats like connect-live-us.wixstudio.com before they propagate through antivirus databases, which explains the relatively low VirusTotal detection rate. This proactive approach is crucial in mitigating phishing threats, especially when domains exploit the gap between registration and widespread detection. The domain's offline status now reduces immediate risk, but its past activity underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and swift action against phishing domains. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260620-C1C736 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/connect-live-us.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=connect-live-us.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.
