# PhishDestroy threat dossier — private-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 13:19:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/private-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 75/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, 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: 2026-04-28 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 18:15:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-01 13:19:24 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 02:19:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd4a5-e595-74da-a32c-0b7eec93c66e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/private-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.private-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=private-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/private-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/private-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 18:17:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies private-desktop.wixstudio.com as a generic phishing domain currently under investigation for hosting a potential credential theft or malware dropper page. The site mimics a legitimate desktop environment in an attempt to deceive users into entering sensitive information or downloading malicious payloads. Given the active status and low detection rate on VirusTotal, this domain poses a credible risk to unaware visitors and should be treated as hostile until further evidence suggests otherwise. This domain was flagged by PhishDestroy with a risk level marked as under_investigation. VirusTotal currently reports 0 out of 95 engines detecting the page as malicious, indicating a low immediate signature-based detection but not confirming its legitimacy. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118, which is associated with Wix hosting infrastructure, and utilizes a valid Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, increasing its appearance of legitimacy. Domain registration details, including creation date and registrar, remain unverified through public sources at this time, and no known inclusion in major blocklists such as PhishTank or OpenPhish has been confirmed as of the latest scan. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with private-desktop.wixstudio.com or any embedded links, forms, or download prompts. If this domain was accessed inadvertently, do not enter any credentials, personal data, or download files. Clear browser cache and cookies related to the site, and consider running a full antivirus scan. Security teams should monitor network traffic for connections to 34.144.206.118 and inspect endpoints for unusual outbound communication. Monitor this domain’s status on threat intelligence platforms for updates—this assessment may change as new intelligence becomes available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c105da23200667081f91b7c476f1bde9 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/private-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=private-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.
