## 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

Last verified:     2026-05-16 21:25:36 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-23 10:19:41 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has categorized guidestart.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain with a risk level currently under investigation. The specific threat identified involves generic phishing tactics, likely aimed at deceiving users into submitting sensitive information such as login credentials through fraudulent means.

Technical analysis reveals that guidestart.wixstudio.com holds an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which is commonly used for legitimate and malicious sites alike. The domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. VirusTotal reports zero detections out of 95 antivirus engines, indicating that this domain has not yet been flagged by mainstream security tools. Additional intelligence such as registrar details and creation date were not provided, and the domain does not appear on known blocklists or have notable trust score data at this time.

Given the generic phishing nature of this threat, users are advised to exercise caution when interacting with this domain. It is recommended to avoid entering any personal or login information on the site. Organizations should monitor network traffic for connections to 34.144.206.118 and consider blocking the domain at the DNS or firewall level. Users should verify the domain status regularly on PhishDestroy to stay informed of any updates or changes in its threat classification.

## 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.
