Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/desktop-setupcdn.wixstudio.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 95/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Credential Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      6/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, ESET, G-Data, LevelBlue, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Page title:      404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio

## 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:    2026-06-10 15:04:20 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-10 15:01:38 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-11 03:46:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 00:19:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain desktop-setupcdn.wixstudio.com has been identified as a generic phishing site designed to impersonate Wix Studio login pages. Analysis indicates this domain was actively used to harvest credentials under the guise of legitimate Wix Studio services. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity suggests it was operational during its active window.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was flagged by 6 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection coverage. It was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a common registrar for both legitimate and malicious domains. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a widely used certificate authority that does not inherently validate domain legitimacy. The domain appeared on one security blocklist, suggesting limited but confirmed malicious classification. Technologies detected include Wix, React, Google Cloud, and Google Cloud CDN, which align with legitimate Wix Studio infrastructure but were likely exploited to lend credibility to the phishing attempt.  Current status confirms the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, the infrastructure and techniques observed may resurface under similar domains. Organizations and individuals are advised to block this domain at the network level and monitor for related indicators of compromise. Users who may have interacted with the domain should reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window, particularly those associated with Wix Studio or related services. Security teams should review logs for connections to this domain and investigate potential credential harvesting incidents.

## 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.
