# PhishDestroy threat dossier — intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 08:06:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 75/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Cluster25, ESET, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Page title: EXODUS® Web3 Wallet® | Getting Started Exodus™ HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-06 20:06:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-07 00:01:01 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f389a-d5c3-775c-8209-2d1cdc44bd23/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-06 20:15:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com, is currently under investigation for operating as a credential harvesting phishing site. Analysis indicates the domain is designed to mimic legitimate educational or institutional login portals, tricking users into submitting sensitive credentials such as usernames, passwords, or other authentication details. The threat actor likely targets students, faculty, or employees associated with educational institutions, exploiting trust in familiar branding or communication channels. The domain may also serve secondary payloads, such as malware or additional phishing links, though no such activity has been confirmed at this stage. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on a platform known for rapid deployment of phishing pages. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend legitimacy to malicious sites. As of the latest scan, the domain has zero detections out of 95 security engines on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely flagged by automated systems. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further corroborates its suspicious nature. No historical blocklist records or creation date metadata are currently available, suggesting the domain may have been recently deployed or obfuscated to evade detection. Users who have visited intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com or entered credentials on the site should take immediate action. First, reset all passwords associated with the account, prioritizing email and single-sign-on credentials, as these are often targeted for lateral movement. Enable multi-factor authentication on all critical accounts to mitigate unauthorized access. Monitor financial and institutional accounts for unauthorized transactions or changes. If the device used to access the site is managed by an organization, report the incident to the internal security team for further investigation. Users should also clear browser cache and cookies to remove any lingering session data. Given the domain's active status and lack of detections, caution is advised when interacting with similar educational-themed domains or unsolicited login prompts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 3/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 ## 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 (operator 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/intro-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=intro-exeduso.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
