## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 59/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      13/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, 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"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
Page title:      Home | My Site

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-09 05:31:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-09 06:29:09 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:29:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, en-hardware-intro.wixstudio.com, is identified as a high-risk credential harvesting phishing site targeting users of hardware-related services. Analysis indicates the site was designed to mimic legitimate hardware vendor portals, likely to collect login credentials, payment details, or other sensitive user data. The domain is currently offline, but prior activity and infrastructure analysis confirm its malicious intent.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and hosted on a platform utilizing Wix, React, Google Cloud, and RequireJS. The site was flagged by 13 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and PhishingArmy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, and the site employs HSTS and Google Cloud CDN, which are often leveraged to lend an appearance of legitimacy. The page title, 'Home | My Site,' suggests minimal customization, a common tactic in rapidly deployed phishing campaigns.  The domain has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, organizations and individuals should remain vigilant for similar threats. Network administrators are advised to block the domain at the DNS or firewall level and monitor for any resurgence or related infrastructure. Users who may have interacted with the site should reset credentials for any accounts accessed during the exposure window and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Security teams should review logs for connections to en-hardware-intro.wixstudio.com and investigate potential data exposure.

## 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.
