## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-24 08:51:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies get-desktop.wixstudio.com as a confirmed Microsoft software scam hosting fraudulent update pages. This domain mimics legitimate software distribution channels to deliver malware payloads, posing a direct threat to user systems and data integrity.  

This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/95 engines, indicating zero current blocklists despite active phishing operations. The infrastructure resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. WixStudio serves as the hosting platform through their wixstudio.com domain infrastructure.  

Users must avoid downloading any files from this domain as they likely contain trojanized software bundles. Verify software sources through official Microsoft channels only. Organizations should block this domain at network firewalls and DNS levels. Immediate reporting to Microsoft Security Intelligence and browser vendors is recommended to accelerate takedown processes. System administrators should scan endpoints for indicators of compromise using Microsoft Defender signatures updated within 24 hours of exposure.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 3/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0c23393a2962fa25800b09e18dd6b102
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.
