# PhishDestroy threat dossier — explored-desktops.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 08:42:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/explored-desktops.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, VIPRE ## 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: 2026-04-24 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: 2026-04-24 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-24 08:50:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-26 19:40:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-26 12:42:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dbe09-17cc-738a-975c-89be6408f815/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/explored-desktops.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.explored-desktops.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=explored-desktops.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/explored-desktops.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/explored-desktops.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-24 08:50:40 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies explored-desktops.wixstudio.com as a generic phishing domain currently under investigation for hosting a crypto drainer kit. The subdomain resides on WixStudio’s shared hosting platform and is designed to trick users into connecting crypto wallets under the guise of a desktop-related service. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage, but the payload is consistent with clipboard and wallet-drainer malware observed in similar campaigns. The malicious infrastructure leverages Wix’s legitimate CDN to obscure its origin while delivering the drainer payload via JavaScript injection or fake download prompts. This approach allows the threat actor to evade basic network-level filtering and maintain operational persistence until flagged by security platforms. Technical indicators confirm the domain resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 and is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal currently returns 0/95 detection detections, indicating low AV coverage. The domain was registered via Wix’s internal registrar and uses a recently created WixStudio subdomain structure, which limits historical WHOIS visibility. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged the domain, and it remains absent from major threat intelligence blocklists as of this analysis. The lack of prior detections suggests either a newly deployed campaign or a carefully crafted evasion strategy targeting low-sophistication users. Currently, the domain remains active and unblocked across most security platforms. PhishDestroy has flagged this domain for immediate analysis due to the high-risk nature of crypto drainer payloads. No takedown or mitigation has been initiated by hosting providers at this time. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with explored-desktops.wixstudio.com and verify its status on PhishDestroy before any wallet connection. The residual risk remains high given the absence of AV detections and GSB classification, requiring ongoing monitoring and proactive blocking by security teams. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 8/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 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/explored-desktops.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=explored-desktops.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.
