# PhishDestroy threat dossier — eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 22:32:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Cluster25, CRDF, Gridinsoft ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: AS396982 Google LLC Hosting org: Google Cloud Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-04-27 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 09:21:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-16 21:14:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 12:21:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dcd98-a1f2-724e-8877-70eb4e7335a3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 09:22:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com as an active credential theft phishing domain under investigation. The domain leverages a Wix Studio subdomain to host a deceptive interface designed to harvest user credentials under false pretenses. Current evidence indicates the infrastructure remains operational, with threat actors likely distributing links via social engineering campaigns to compromise account access. Users are advised against interacting with this domain and to verify URLs before submitting sensitive information. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, operates on IP 34.144.206.118, and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to establish false legitimacy. The domain resolves to a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure, as identified by the IP geolocation. While the domain's creation date and registrar information remain undisclosed due to Wix’s privacy protections, the absence of detections suggests a recently deployed or undetected campaign. Trust scores from threat intelligence platforms such as Google Safe Browsing and PhishTank have not been assigned, leaving users vulnerable without proactive blocking mechanisms. The domain’s reliance on obfuscation via a reputable subdomain platform highlights the evolving tactics used by credential theft actors to bypass traditional security filters. Current status remains active, with no confirmed takedown or remediation by hosting providers or security vendors. PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking of the domain and associated IP at the network level to prevent further access. Users should remain vigilant for unsolicited messages containing links to this domain and verify the authenticity of login portals independently. Additionally, enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts serves as a critical mitigation against credential theft, even if login credentials are compromised. Security teams are urged to monitor for related infrastructure, including additional Wix subdomains or domains resolving to the same IP, as part of a broader threat hunting effort. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/eng-io-gate.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=eng-io-gate.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.
