# PhishDestroy threat dossier — platform-startio.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 04:33:51 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/platform-startio.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: 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: 2026-04-04 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:00:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:05:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-05 10:27:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a48-da3f-7464-85c6-7c85142547a4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/platform-startio.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.platform-startio.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=platform-startio.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/platform-startio.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/platform-startio.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:03:07 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies platform-startio.wixstudio.com as an active threat involved specifically in credential harvesting phishing attacks. The current risk level is under investigation as more data is collected to fully assess impact and scope. Technical analysis reveals that platform-startio.wixstudio.com holds an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, providing the site with HTTPS encryption which may mislead users into trusting the page. VirusTotal scanning shows 0 detections out of 95 antivirus engines, indicating this phishing domain currently evades many automated detection tools. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118. No blocklist entries or trust scores are reported at this time. The domain is hosted on Wix’s platform infrastructure but the creation date and registrar details are not specified in the available intelligence. Mitigation for credential harvesting phishing such as this includes verifying URLs carefully before entering credentials, enabling multi-factor authentication across services, and monitoring account activity for unauthorized access. Organizations should update email filters and educate users on recognizing fake login pages, especially those leveraging SSL certificates for perceived legitimacy. Blocking the IP 34.144.206.118 and domain platform-startio.wixstudio.com at the network level is recommended until further assessment concludes the threat status. ## 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/platform-startio.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=platform-startio.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.
