# PhishDestroy threat dossier — global-software-live.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 16:34:21 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/global-software-live.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 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: 2026-04-23 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: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-23 22:47:00 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-28 13:40:09 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 10:02:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dbbe0-68a9-730d-b21c-e25ac41e257e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/global-software-live.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.global-software-live.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=global-software-live.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/global-software-live.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/global-software-live.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-23 22:47:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain global-software-live.wixstudio.com as an active participant in a generic phishing campaign targeting unsuspecting users. The risk level remains classified as 'under_investigation' due to evolving threat actor tactics, but preliminary analysis confirms malicious intent. The domain leverages a deceptive naming convention to impersonate legitimate software services, likely luring victims into disclosing sensitive credentials or downloading malicious payloads. Users should avoid interaction and report the domain immediately to relevant security teams. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with seed 114b8e and exhibits multiple red flags consistent with phishing infrastructure. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which is commonly abused to add a veneer of legitimacy. VirusTotal currently records 0/95 detections, indicating low AV coverage, while the domain remains unlisted on major blocklists such as PhishTank, OpenPhish, and Google Safe Browsing. The WixStudio platform is exploited as a free hosting service, evading immediate takedown while maintaining plausible deniability. No creation date or registrar information is available, suggesting a recently registered or intentionally obscured domain designed for short-lived campaigns. Trust scores from security vendors remain neutral or nonexistent, reinforcing the need for caution. Mitigating exposure to this generic phishing threat requires immediate action. Users should block the domain global-software-live.wixstudio.com and IP 34.144.206.118 at the network and endpoint levels. Organizations should update firewall rules, DNS sinkholes, and proxy filters to block these indicators. Email security solutions should implement advanced phishing detection, including URL rewriting and sandbox analysis, as this domain evades traditional AV signatures. Security teams are advised to monitor for associated IOCs, such as additional subdomains or IP ranges linked to this campaign. Awareness training should highlight the risks of deceptive software impersonation and the importance of verifying domains before interaction. Report any encounters with this domain to your security provider and cybercrime units such as the FBI IC3 or local equivalents. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/94 (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/global-software-live.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=global-software-live.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.
