  - 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.

desktopapps-live.wixstudio.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

desktopapps-live.wixstudio.com has been observed resolving to the public IPv4 address 34.144.206.118. HTTP requests to the host return a 404 status code, indicating that the web server does not currently serve a valid page, yet the domain remains listed as active in threat intelligence feeds. The domain appears in a generic_phishing classification and is marked under investigation. A VirusTotal scan involving 91 antivirus and URL‑reputation engines returned no detections, but the lack of a flag does not constitute confirmation of safety. Nameserver information could not be retrieved, and no additional infrastructure details are available. Because the domain is actively resolved and flagged as a phishing resource, defensive teams should consider adding the domain and its resolved IP address to blocklists, monitor DNS queries for occurrences, and instrument network traffic for any outbound connections to the address. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised as further evidence may emerge.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450

## 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 (operator 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.
