# PhishDestroy threat dossier — homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 22:53:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/homepage-dydxxcdn.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: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## 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: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 ## 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: 2016-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 10:05:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 15:55:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 00:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 12:36:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecf76-50f3-74ec-8b36-e07a075f5747/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/38f0c6c1-10ae-4ea4-9076-e7529ecbe09d Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:43:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com is a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the dYdX brand. This domain is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with the legitimate dYdX platform, potentially leading to unauthorized access to user accounts, theft of sensitive information, or financial fraud. Analysis indicates that the domain is flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of detection among security tools. The domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and was created on December 17, 2016. It currently resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. The domain appears on five security blocklists, including MetaMask, PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, SEAL, and OISD, and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating it is highly untrusted. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is a common practice for phishing sites to appear more legitimate. If users have visited this domain, they should immediately change their dYdX account passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if not already in place. Users should also monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for any unauthorized activity. It is recommended to run a full system scan for malware and to report the incident to dYdX support. Users should avoid clicking on any links or providing personal information on any site that does not display the correct domain and SSL certificate. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-BF60F8 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/homepage-dydxxcdn.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=homepage-dydxxcdn.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.
