# PhishDestroy threat dossier — desktop-official.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 16:41:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/desktop-official.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## 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: 2026-04-24 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: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-24 08:56:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-26 19:40:16 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-26 12:42:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dbe0b-d21d-70eb-89cb-bc908c492e9c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/desktop-official.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.desktop-official.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=desktop-official.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/desktop-official.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/desktop-official.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-24 08:57:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies desktop-official.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain leveraging a deceptive crypto wallet drainer kit to siphon user funds. The domain impersonates a legitimate service (WixStudio hosting) to establish false credibility while concealing its malicious intent. No specific brand or financial service is being spoofed in this instance; instead, it operates as a standalone credential and cryptocurrency harvesting campaign. The campaign appears designed to target users unfamiliar with safe crypto wallet management practices, exploiting trust in cloud hosting platforms like WixStudio to deliver a drainer script under the guise of an official desktop application. Technical indicators reveal this domain resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 and is flagged by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors. The domain was registered under the Let's Encrypt SSL infrastructure and is associated with the WixStudio platform, though it operates outside Wix’s verified ecosystem. Registrar details are not disclosed in public records, and creation date remains unavailable through standard WHOIS queries. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has blacklisted this domain, and it appears on two additional blocklists curated by PhishingArmy and OISD. These indicators collectively confirm a coordinated detection effort against the infrastructure. As of current monitoring, the domain remains active with an elevated risk profile, indicating ongoing malicious operations. Immediate response actions include the addition of this domain and associated IP to enterprise and endpoint security blocklists. Users are strongly advised to refrain from accessing the domain or downloading any files hosted under the desktop-official.wixstudio.com subdomain. The residual risk remains significant due to the domain’s active status and partial detection coverage, suggesting potential for further evolution or expansion of the campaign. Continuous monitoring and proactive threat intelligence updates are recommended to mitigate exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 5c25dc4385fe5963f245c0f0dc98b4ca 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/desktop-official.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=desktop-official.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.
