# PhishDestroy threat dossier — home-pionex.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 16:45:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/home-pionex.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot 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"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: Log In | Pionex®® | Sign In™ HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 05:31:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 16:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-09 06:27:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:25:42 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-pionex.wixstudio.com has been identified as a cryptocurrency credential phishing site targeting users of the Pionex trading platform. Analysis of the page title, "Log In | Pionex®® | Sign In™," confirms the site impersonates the legitimate Pionex brand to harvest login credentials. The domain is currently offline, though prior activity indicates an elevated risk of credential theft and financial fraud against cryptocurrency traders. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on June 08, 2026, an anomalous future date suggesting potential manipulation or misconfiguration. The site was hosted on Wix infrastructure, leveraging technologies including React, Google Cloud CDN, and HTTP/3 for delivery. Security vendors flagged the domain in 5 of 95 VirusTotal scans, while it appears on three distinct security blocklists, including PhishDestroy and PhishingArmy. The SSL certificate was issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common choice for phishing sites due to its low barrier to entry. No associated IP addresses were provided in the initial data, though the use of Google Cloud and HSTS suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate service characteristics. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk to end users. However, the infrastructure and registration details suggest potential for reemergence under a similar or altered domain. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for domains impersonating Pionex or other cryptocurrency platforms, particularly those using Wix or similar website builders. Blocklist integration for known phishing indicators, such as those maintained by PhishingArmy and OISD, is recommended. Users should verify domain legitimacy before entering credentials and enable multi-factor authentication on all financial and cryptocurrency accounts to mitigate credential theft risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 ## 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-pionex.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=home-pionex.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.
