# PhishDestroy threat dossier — home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 07:41:23 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: dYdX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Certego, Cluster25, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## 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: 2026-06-13 Expires: 2027-12-17 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 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: 2026-06-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-13 19:34:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-13 19:33:34 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 19:34:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ec20d-6823-7579-a039-aea2e7aaccc3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:38:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain presents an elevated risk because it was designed to impersonate the well-known decentralized exchange dYdX, a classic brand impersonation tactic used to trick users into connecting their wallets or revealing credentials. Although the site is currently offline, the threat remains significant due to its sophisticated setup and the potential for future reactivation under a similar guise. The domain's registration details and security vendor flags underscore its malicious intent. PhishDestroy's analysis reveals several technical indicators that confirm the threat. The domain was created on June 13, 2026, a recent date suggesting it was set up specifically for this campaign. It is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118. VirusTotal shows 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious, and it appears on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (R13), which is common among phishing sites due to its free and automated issuance. The page title displayed a generic 404 error, likely because the site was taken offline after detection. Users should avoid any interaction with this domain and similar ones. Since this is a brand impersonation targeting a crypto platform, never enter wallet credentials, private keys, or seed phrases on any site claiming to be dYdX. Always verify the official URL by checking the dYdX website directly. If you have already visited the site, scan your device for malware and monitor your crypto wallet for unauthorized transactions. Report any suspicious domains to cybersecurity authorities and the legitimate brand to help protect others. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/home-dydx-io.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=home-dydx-io.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.
