# PhishDestroy threat dossier — home-htxxcdn.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 14:34:03 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/home-htxxcdn.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: HTX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, PREBYTES Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-09 08:27:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 08:22:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 16:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 06:50:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:53:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain home-htxxcdn.wixstudio.com has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting HTX, a known cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis confirms the domain is currently offline, though prior activity involved deceptive practices aimed at misleading users into believing they were interacting with legitimate HTX services. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation, a tactic frequently employed to exploit user trust in established brands for fraudulent purposes. Technical indicators reveal the domain was flagged by 6 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate but notable level of detection. It was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, a common registrar for both legitimate and malicious domains. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain appeared on 3 security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. The page title, '404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio,' suggests the domain may have been hosted on a content management platform that allows rapid deployment and takedown of malicious pages. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a widely used certificate authority that does not inherently validate the legitimacy of the domain's content. Detected technologies include Wix, React, Google Cloud, and Google Cloud CDN, which are consistent with the infrastructure used to host and deliver phishing or impersonation content. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, the infrastructure and tactics observed may resurface under a different domain or hosting provider. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain home-htxxcdn.wixstudio.com at the network level and monitor for similar impersonation attempts targeting HTX or other cryptocurrency platforms. Users should verify the authenticity of any communication or website claiming affiliation with HTX by cross-referencing official channels. Security teams are recommended to review logs for connections to this domain and investigate any potential exposure or compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da ## 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-htxxcdn.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=home-htxxcdn.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.
