Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/pioniex-apps.wixstudio.com/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 93/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Fake Exchange

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      5/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Webroot
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 08:27:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-09 08:22:58 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:50:50 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 00:49:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain pioniex-apps.wixstudio.com was identified as a phishing infrastructure targeting cryptocurrency users through a fake exchange portal. Analysis indicates the site operated as a generic phishing page, likely designed to harvest credentials or facilitate unauthorized transactions. As of the latest verification, the domain has been taken offline, though it previously displayed a 404 error page titled '404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio.'  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and was flagged by 5 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal. It appeared on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. The site utilized technologies such as Wix, React, Google Cloud, and Google Cloud CDN, with HTTP/3 support and a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. No specific IP address or creation date was provided, but the domain's presence on multiple blocklists and its detection by security vendors confirm its malicious intent.  The domain is currently offline, reducing immediate risk to users. However, organizations and individuals should remain vigilant for similar phishing attempts impersonating cryptocurrency platforms. It is recommended to block the domain at the network level, monitor for related indicators of compromise, and educate users on recognizing phishing attempts targeting digital asset services. Security teams should review logs for any prior interactions with this domain and assess potential exposure.

## 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.
