# PhishDestroy threat dossier — platforms-starts.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 22:48:48 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/platforms-starts.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 70/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, Gridinsoft, Webroot ## 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: 2026-04-14 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: 2026-04-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-14 07:52:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 07:40:18 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-14 10:29:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8a53-c0e2-7628-a5c8-53440b82a3c2/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/platforms-starts.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.platforms-starts.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=platforms-starts.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/platforms-starts.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/platforms-starts.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-14 07:54:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain platforms-starts.wixstudio.com as a generic phishing infrastructure active in credential harvesting campaigns. This domain is currently under investigation due to its involvement in phishing activities designed to deceive users into surrendering login credentials or sensitive personal data. The platform mimics legitimate services to exploit user trust, a common tactic in modern social engineering attacks. Given its active status and lack of detection by security vendors, immediate caution is advised when encountering this domain or associated URLs. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors as of the latest analysis, indicating a low detection rate despite its malicious activities. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. While the exact creation date and registrar details remain unverified in this dataset, the domain's association with active phishing campaigns poses an immediate risk. Trust scores are critically low due to its engagement in credential harvesting operations, a high-impact threat vector. PhishDestroy strongly advises users and organizations to block access to platforms-starts.wixstudio.com at the network level and avoid interacting with any content hosted on this domain. If exposure has occurred, immediately change passwords for accounts potentially compromised and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Security teams should monitor for connections to IP 34.144.206.118 and investigate any related network activity. This domain’s low detection rate highlights the need for proactive threat intelligence sharing and user vigilance against emerging phishing infrastructures. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## 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/platforms-starts.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=platforms-starts.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.
