# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 11:50:13 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: dYdX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Certego, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-06-12 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio ## 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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 07:39:17 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-12 07:39:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-25 12:20:42 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-12 12:50:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eba56-4afc-720b-8d49-259efbfc991c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-13 11:39:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com as a high-risk domain that poses a brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting dYdX users. This domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a potential scam. The domain resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 and has a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may give it a false sense of legitimacy. The domain dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com was created with the intention of deceiving users into believing it is the official dYdX website. With 4 security vendors flagging it, it is clear that this domain is not trustworthy. The exact number of security vendors flagging this domain is a clear indication of its malicious intent. The registrar and creation date are not publicly available, but the fact that it has a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and resolves to a specific IP address suggests that it is a technically sophisticated attack. If a user has visited dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com, they should immediately change their passwords and enable two-factor authentication on their dYdX account. They should also monitor their account activity closely for any signs of unauthorized access. Additionally, users should be cautious when clicking on links or providing sensitive information to websites that may appear legitimate but are actually impersonating well-known brands like dYdX. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding this domain altogether and using official dYdX channels for any interactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 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/dydx-io-us.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dydx-io-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.
