# PhishDestroy threat dossier — livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-20 20:07:41 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (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: 2026-05-06 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-05-06 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-06 22:35:52 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-16 11:37:12 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-07 04:35:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dfec7-7e71-715b-a703-939a6873da3c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-06 22:37:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies a live phishing campaign utilizing the domain livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com, specifically designed to impersonate a legitimate desk support service. This domain is currently active and leverages a deceptive WixStudio subdomain to lend false credibility to its malicious operations. While the exact drainer kit or spoofed brand remains under investigation, the domain’s structure suggests a targeted attempt to harvest credentials or sensitive data under the guise of desk support assistance. Initial analysis indicates a focus on user deception rather than mass exploitation, though broader implications cannot yet be ruled out. The use of a free hosting platform like WixStudio highlights the adversary’s preference for low-cost, high-reach infrastructure to evade traditional detection mechanisms. livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com exhibits minimal footprint in threat intelligence platforms, with a VirusTotal detection rate of 0/95 at the time of analysis. The domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on infrastructure managed by a major cloud provider. The domain was issued an SSL certificate by Let's Encrypt, further enhancing its appearance of legitimacy. Registrar details and domain creation date remain unverified at this stage, but the choice of a Let's Encrypt certificate suggests cost-conscious operational security on the adversary’s part. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not flagged this domain, and it does not appear in public blocklists, reinforcing its current stealth. These attributes align with a phishing campaign in the early stages of deployment, prioritizing evasion over immediate disruption. The domain is currently classified as active and under investigation, with a risk level marked as under_investigation. Immediate containment measures are not yet warranted due to limited detections, but the lack of flags does not equate to safety. Users interacting with this domain may unwittingly expose credentials or financial data to an adversary-controlled server. To mitigate risk, organizations are advised to block the IP address 34.144.206.118 at the network perimeter and inspect DNS queries for livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com. Employee awareness training should emphasize skepticism toward unsolicited desk support communications, particularly those originating from free hosting domains. While the campaign’s sophistication is currently low, its active status demands vigilance and proactive threat hunting to detect potential shifts in tactics or scale. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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/livedeskt-op.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=livedeskt-op.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.
