# PhishDestroy threat dossier — io-starts-moonpay.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 21:23:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/io-starts-moonpay.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 96/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue 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 15:29:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 15:28:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 06:50:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:45:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, io-starts-moonpay.wixstudio.com, is identified as a cryptocurrency phishing site targeting users through deceptive payment or wallet verification schemes. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity suggests an attempt to impersonate a legitimate cryptocurrency service provider. The threat type is classified as generic phishing with an elevated risk level due to its potential to harvest sensitive financial credentials or facilitate unauthorized transactions. Analysis indicates the domain was flagged by 7 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a notable detection rate that underscores its malicious intent. It appears on one security blocklist, further corroborating its classification as a threat. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and leverages infrastructure associated with Wix, React, Google Cloud, and Google Cloud CDN. The SSL certificate is issued by Let’s Encrypt, a common but not exclusive indicator of legitimacy, as threat actors frequently abuse free certificate authorities. The domain’s HTTP/3 implementation suggests modern web technologies were employed to evade detection or enhance performance. No specific creation date is provided, but the 404 error page title (404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio) confirms its prior hosting on a content management platform. Current status confirms the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk to end users. However, the infrastructure and indicators associated with this domain warrant continued monitoring. Organizations and individuals are advised to block access to this domain at the network level, including any subdomains or associated IP addresses. Security teams should review logs for prior connections to this domain, particularly in environments where cryptocurrency transactions occur. Users who may have interacted with this domain should be alerted to monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity and reset credentials for any associated financial or cryptocurrency services. Proactive measures, such as implementing multi-factor authentication and educating users on recognizing phishing attempts, are recommended to mitigate future risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 11e815fcc46522874043fec1a1423f31 ## 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/io-starts-moonpay.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=io-starts-moonpay.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.
