Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain helps-usdesktop.wixstudio.com was designed to trick users into entering their login credentials on a fraudulent page that mimics a legitimate support or desktop access portal. This type of generic phishing attack often targets individuals by impersonating trusted services, aiming to steal usernames and passwords for unauthorized access to accounts. PhishDestroy's analysis shows that this domain is currently offline, but while active it posed a real threat. VirusTotal data reveals that 5 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, underscoring its dangerous nature. The domain was created on December 17, 2016, and registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. It resolved to IP address 34.144.206.118 and appeared on at least one security blocklist before being taken down. If you visited this site and entered any personal information, you should immediately change your passwords for the affected accounts and enable two-factor authentication wherever possible. Monitor your accounts for suspicious activity and consider running a security scan on your device. Always verify URLs directly with the official service before logging in, and report any similar threats to PhishDestroy to help protect others. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-8D8C0E Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 ## 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/helps-usdesktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=helps-usdesktop.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.
