# PhishDestroy threat dossier — micro-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 15:32:56 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/micro-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 88/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: 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: 2026-04-27 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab 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: 2026-04-27 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-27 19:17:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-29 19:40:22 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 14:43:35 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dcfb8-ff3a-7025-92ac-0058c96a6c0b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/micro-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.micro-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=micro-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/micro-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/micro-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-27 19:19:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies micro-desktop.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain impersonating Microsoft Windows Desktop services. The domain is currently online and operational as of the latest intelligence. It leverages Wix's free hosting platform to distribute a generic phishing campaign designed to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials or downloading malicious content under the guise of a legitimate Windows desktop service offering. This domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and is hosted on Wix hosting infrastructure. The SSL certificate in use is issued by Let's Encrypt, suggesting an attempt to appear legitimate via HTTPS encryption. As of current scanning, the domain remains unflagged across all major detection platforms, with 0 detections reported by 95 VirusTotal vendors. The absence of detections indicates a low profile in threat intelligence feeds, increasing the risk of successful deception against unsuspecting users. The domain was created recently, contributing to its low detection rate. Wix, as the platform provider, is unaware of the malicious intent, highlighting a challenge in quick takedown for misuse of legitimate services. Security teams and end users are advised to block access to micro-desktop.wixstudio.com at the network and endpoint levels. Monitor DNS queries and HTTP(S) traffic for outbound connections to this domain or IP. Users should avoid interacting with any Wix-hosted domain offering system-related services unless explicitly verified through official Microsoft channels. Implement browser-based filtering and URL inspection tools to detect similar patterns of abuse. Report this domain to Wix’s abuse team and Microsoft’s security intelligence feed to increase proactive detection. Immediate action is recommended due to the active status of this campaign and lack of vendor detection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab ## 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/micro-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=micro-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.
