# PhishDestroy threat dossier — exodos-explore.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-08 17:03:37 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/exodos-explore.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 89/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, 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: 2026-05-03 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 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: 2026-05-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-03 12:35:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-05 13:40:05 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-03 16:03:59 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ded2e-846c-733b-bb10-8eb21b4ae635/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exodos-explore.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exodos-explore.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exodos-explore.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exodos-explore.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exodos-explore.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-03 12:37:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies a newly active crypto drainer hosted at exodos-explore.wixstudio.com, designed to steal cryptocurrency by impersonating the legitimate Exodus Wallet application. This threat leverages a spoofed interface to trick visitors into connecting their wallets and authorizing fraudulent transactions. The domain currently remains undetected by security vendors, with 0 out of 95 VirusTotal engines flagging the URL as malicious. This low detection rate increases the risk of successful compromise, especially for users unfamiliar with phishing tactics involving wallet connection requests. This domain was flagged during routine threat monitoring and resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 on a platform hosted by Wix Studio. The site uses a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may help it evade browser warnings and appear legitimate. Domain registration details remain unavailable due to the use of a privacy-protected registrar, a common tactic among malicious actors to obscure ownership. The combination of platform hosting, SSL encryption, and undetected status suggests a recently deployed campaign targeting cryptocurrency users. If you visited exodos-explore.wixstudio.com, immediately disconnect your wallet and revoke any unauthorized permissions using tools like Revoke.cash or your wallet’s built-in dApp browser settings. Do not interact with any transaction prompts or connection requests from this site. Clear your browser cache and run a full antivirus scan. Report the domain to your wallet provider, browser, and platforms like PhishDestroy or Google Safe Browsing to help block future access. Stay vigilant: always verify URLs and confirm official sources before connecting wallets or authorizing transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0f98b704c93538fcb68377c679051b5a TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/exodos-explore.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exodos-explore.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.
