## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Exodus

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      0/91 security vendors flagged this domain
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      162.159.143.12 (US, San Francisco)
ASN:             ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       Wix.com Ltd.
Nameservers:     NS_NOT_FOUND

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / YR1
Expires:    2026-09-22
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450
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
----------------------------------------------------------------

Last verified:     2026-07-30 16:20:31 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-24 12:27:40 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

eng-exiudus.wixstudio.com used for generic phishing

This domain, eng-exiudus.wixstudio.com, is currently flagged as an active generic phishing infrastructure. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 162.159.143.12, which is owned by the Wix.com hosting platform. Registration details show that the domain was created through Wix.com Ltd., a provider that offers website‑building services and often hosts short‑lived phishing sites.

The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service, indicating that at least one vendor has observed malicious activity originating from this host. No authoritative name server records were returned during DNS lookup (NS_NOT_FOUND), which may be a result of misconfiguration or intentional obfuscation to hinder attribution. The lack of additional public data—such as SSL certificate information, HTTP response codes, page titles, or Safe Browsing verdicts—means that the full scope of the phishing campaign cannot be precisely determined at this time.

Analysts should monitor DNS queries for this hostname, enforce blocklists that include the associated IP address, and consider adding the domain to internal deny lists. Because the hosting provider is a shared service, any compromise could affect other tenants; therefore, security teams should also review traffic patterns for other Wix‑hosted domains that exhibit similar characteristics. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended as new intelligence, such as additional blocklist listings or detection vendor reports, becomes available.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       b3a28e80142aa4908d146d48f8f4cfdf
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.
