Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ecology-desktop.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain distributing a fake ecology survey scam to harvest user credentials and personal data. The site masquerades as a legitimate environmental questionnaire but is designed to trick visitors into submitting sensitive information under false pretenses. Security analysts classify this as a credential-harvesting attack vector leveraging social engineering tactics to exploit trust in ecological research themes. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with 0 out of 95 VirusTotal detections, indicating it has evaded most antivirus engines to date. ecology-desktop.wixstudio.com resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and is currently blocked by two major security blocklists including PhishingArmy and OISD. The domain is hosted on Wix’s platform and utilizes a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to enhance credibility. Technical indicators reveal this phishing infrastructure has remained undetected by standard security tools, increasing the risk of successful compromise for unsuspecting users. If you visited ecology-desktop.wixstudio.com, immediately cease interaction with the site and do not enter any personal information, login credentials, or survey responses. Scan your device with updated antivirus software and consider resetting passwords for accounts potentially exposed during the visit. Report the domain to your security team or through PhishDestroy’s incident response portal to help block further access. Monitor financial and online accounts for unusual activity as this phishing campaign may lead to identity theft or fraud. Exercise caution with links in emails or social media related to environmental causes, even if they appear legitimate. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0f98b704c93538fcb68377c679051b5a 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/ecology-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ecology-desktop.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.
