# PhishDestroy threat dossier — exodwaletd.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 13:20:40 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/exodwaletd.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 87/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Webroot ## 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: 2026-04-28 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 18:21:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-01 13:19:00 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 02:19:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd4ac-556b-769f-b191-ad0ff8d5ca4d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/exodwaletd.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.exodwaletd.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=exodwaletd.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/exodwaletd.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/exodwaletd.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 18:23:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies exodwaletd.wixstudio.com as an active brand impersonation scam masquerading as the legitimate Exodus wallet. The domain leverages the WixStudio platform to host a counterfeit interface designed to deceive cryptocurrency users into entering private keys or connecting wallets, thereby enabling unauthorized fund transfers. This tactic is commonly referred to as a crypto drainer, where victims unknowingly grant malicious smart contracts access to their digital assets. The threat actor behind this domain has configured an SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which may provide a false sense of security to visitors. Historically, domains with SSL certificates have a higher trust factor among users, making this a particularly deceptive vector for credential theft and financial loss. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy under seed 658988 with a risk level marked as under_investigation and a current status of active. Intelligence confirms it resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and shows zero detections on VirusTotal (as of latest scan: 0/95 engines), indicating a low detection rate and potential evasion of automated scanning tools. The domain is likely recently registered and hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure, exploiting the reputation of legitimate platforms like WixStudio and Let’s Encrypt to appear authentic. While detailed WHOIS or creation date data is not publicly accessible due to privacy protections or recent registration, the combination of zero detections and active impersonation strongly suggests this is a newly deployed threat designed to exploit unsuspecting users. Users who have visited exodwaletd.wixstudio.com should immediately disconnect from the site, clear browser cache and cookies, and audit their connected wallets for any suspicious transactions. Do not interact with any prompted wallet connections or input private keys on this domain. Revoke any permissions granted to unknown smart contracts via your wallet’s connection manager. Report the domain to your security team or online abuse platforms such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or the relevant cryptocurrency fraud reporting channels. Enable multi-factor authentication on all wallet and exchange accounts where possible, and use hardware wallets for critical asset storage. Remain vigilant for phishing links shared via email, social media, or messaging platforms, especially those referencing Exodus or other crypto brands. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-04-28 - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (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/exodwaletd.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exodwaletd.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.
