# PhishDestroy threat dossier — exedus-us.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 22:28:04 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/exedus-us.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 99/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Fake Exchange ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Seclookup Public blocklists: listed on 2 independent blocklists ## 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: 2026-04-04 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:04:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:09:29 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-05 10:27:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a4b-b79a-7723-a917-0d463e18e943/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exedus-us.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exedus-us.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exedus-us.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exedus-us.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exedus-us.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:06:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy is currently investigating exedus-us.wixstudio.com for potential generic phishing activity. This designation indicates that the domain is suspected of attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, or financial details, through deceptive means. Users should exercise extreme caution when interacting with this domain. Technical analysis reveals that exedus-us.wixstudio.com resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and is currently found on 2 security blocklists. The domain's SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal shows a detection ratio of 0/95, meaning it has not yet been widely flagged by antivirus engines. However, the presence on security blocklists and the 'under_investigation' status indicate a potential threat. It is also blocked by SEAL and MetaMask. Given the potential risks associated with exedus-us.wixstudio.com, users are strongly advised to avoid visiting this domain or providing any personal information. If you have already interacted with the site, it is recommended to change your passwords immediately, monitor your financial accounts for any suspicious activity, and run a thorough scan of your system with a reputable antivirus program. Report the domain to phishing databases to help protect other users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 ## 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/exedus-us.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exedus-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.
