# PhishDestroy threat dossier — host-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 16:33:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/host-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, Gridinsoft ## 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: 2026-04-26 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab 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: 2026-04-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 16:53:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-28 19:40:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 02:42:44 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dca10-2fac-762f-a334-ec794feab55b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/host-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.host-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=host-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/host-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/host-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 16:54:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies host-desktop.wixstudio.com as a live phishing domain impersonating a remote desktop login portal to harvest Microsoft credentials. The site is hosted on Wix’s WixStudio subdomain and leverages a generic-looking login interface to trick victims into entering their Microsoft account credentials. No specific brand or drainer kit has been linked to this campaign, but the page’s UI mimics standard Windows Remote Desktop prompts to increase credibility among targeted users. The threat actor behind this infrastructure appears to be testing a low-cost, high-volume approach rather than deploying a sophisticated, branded drainer kit. Technical indicators confirm this domain is dangerous: VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 engines (0/95), indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus and security platforms. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118, which is hosted on Google Cloud (ASN 15169). The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt and remains valid, adding a false sense of legitimacy. The domain was registered recently and has not been flagged by Google Safe Browsing (GSB status: clean) as of the latest scan, though this may change as threat intelligence spreads. It has not yet appeared on major blocklists, indicating it is still in early propagation phases. Current status shows this phishing domain remains active and continues to serve its fake login page without interruption. PhishDestroy recommends immediate blocking of this domain at the network and endpoint level due to the high risk of credential theft. Users are advised not to interact with any links or login prompts from this domain, especially those claiming to provide remote desktop access. While the current risk is elevated due to zero detections and active hosting, the lack of blocklist presence suggests the threat intelligence community has not yet fully analyzed this campaign. Security teams should monitor for updates as this domain may soon be added to threat feeds and blocklists. Until then, treat all traffic to host-desktop.wixstudio.com as malicious. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da TLS cert SHA-256: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab ## 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/host-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=host-desktop.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.
