# PhishDestroy threat dossier — lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-24 00:48:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 97/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: dYdX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 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 10:05:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 16:15:36 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-24 00:20:34 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/019ecf76-4f67-739c-b655-657aa3a99d39/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f01c4c71-fc81-442a-a900-38ec9e0c7762 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting dYdX, a decentralized exchange platform. This domain is currently offline, but it posed a significant risk to users who might have been deceived into visiting it. The impersonation of dYdX suggests an attempt to harvest credentials or other sensitive information from unsuspecting victims. PhishDestroy's analysis reveals that the domain was flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a consensus among some security tools that it is malicious. The domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118. It was created on December 17, 2016, and despite its age, it was repurposed for phishing. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt / R13, which is commonly used but does not guarantee legitimacy. Additionally, it appears on 1 security blocklist, further corroborating its malicious nature. Given that the domain is now offline, the immediate threat is mitigated. However, users should remain vigilant and avoid interacting with any similar domains that impersonate dYdX. PhishDestroy recommends that if users encounter any suspicious domains, they should not click on any links or provide personal information. Reporting such domains to the relevant authorities or using anti-phishing tools can help prevent future attacks. Always verify the authenticity of a website by checking the official domain of the brand you intend to visit. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-09402C 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/lg-dydxx.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=lg-dydxx.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.
