# PhishDestroy threat dossier — margin-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-10 16:10:57 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/margin-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/92 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: 2026-05-07 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: 2026-05-07 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 16:47:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-09 19:40:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-07 21:07:23 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e02b0-c1e2-7139-abb2-99b9dc223ebe/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/margin-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.margin-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=margin-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/margin-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/margin-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 16:48:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies margin-desktop.wixstudio.com as a sophisticated fake login portal scam actively hosted on the legitimate Wix platform. Currently under investigation and tagged as ‘active,’ this domain is designed to harvest credentials under the guise of a desktop margin service. The threat actor leverages Wix’s domain structure (wixstudio.com) to lend false legitimacy to the page, creating a convincing but malicious login interface aimed at unsuspecting users. This domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate—both red flags indicating a false sense of security. Despite zero detections on VirusTotal (0/95 vendors as of seed de4012), the domain exhibits high-risk characteristics typically associated with credential harvesting campaigns. The IP is hosted on Google Cloud, further masking malicious intent behind a reputable infrastructure provider. Although the current blocklist count and domain age are not specified, the use of a free certificate authority like Let’s Encrypt is a common tactic to bypass initial browser warnings and establish trust. At this time, margin-desktop.wixstudio.com remains active and poses a tangible threat to visitors expecting a legitimate service. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain or any links associated with it. Organizations should block this domain and IP at the network perimeter and educate staff on recognizing fake login portals hosted on cloud platforms. Security teams are urged to monitor this domain for changes in status and coordinate with Wix abuse teams to expedite takedown. Immediate action is necessary to prevent credential compromise. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/92 (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/margin-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=margin-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.
