# PhishDestroy threat dossier — faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 10:50:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, ESET, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Page title: Ledger Live Desktop® — Starting Up Your Device | Ledger® HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-06 10:36:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 12:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-06 12:02:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3691-c857-74cb-9711-d964087269ac/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 10:45:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com is currently under investigation for credential theft activity. Analysis indicates the site is actively soliciting user login credentials, potentially targeting users of desktop applications through deceptive FAQ or support-themed content. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed at this stage, but the infrastructure and thematic elements align with credential harvesting campaigns. Technical indicators reveal the domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been flagged by any of the 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating either a newly launched campaign or evasion of detection mechanisms. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common choice for both legitimate and malicious sites. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Wix as the hosting platform, alongside React for frontend development, Google Cloud CDN for content delivery, and HTTP/3 for enhanced performance. The registrar details for the subdomain are obfuscated by Wix's platform, limiting direct attribution. The domain remains active and operational, posing a potential risk to users who may encounter it through phishing emails, malicious advertisements, or search engine poisoning. Given the lack of detection on VirusTotal, users and organizations are advised to exercise caution. Immediate recommendations include blocking the domain and IP address at the network level, implementing browser-based warnings for employees or end-users, and monitoring for unusual authentication attempts. Organizations should also consider deploying advanced threat detection systems capable of identifying behavioral anomalies associated with credential theft attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 ## 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 (operator 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/faqs-desktopapp.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=faqs-desktopapp.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
