# PhishDestroy threat dossier — publicstartcom.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-12 15:11:19 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/publicstartcom.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 94/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Microsoft ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/92 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, 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: 2026-05-11 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 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: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-11 09:41:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-12 13:40:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-11 19:51:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e15c3-611f-77cc-b60c-2c18e0382f76/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/publicstartcom.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.publicstartcom.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=publicstartcom.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/publicstartcom.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/publicstartcom.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-11 09:43:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy analysts are investigating publicstartcom.wixstudio.com, a live phishing domain impersonating Microsoft 365 to harvest corporate login credentials. The campaign remains active as of the latest scan and is currently under active investigation by our threat intelligence team. Microsoft branding is being abused to deceive end users into entering their corporate credentials into a fraudulent login portal hosted on this infrastructure. This domain was flagged by zero of 95 VirusTotal vendors, indicating it has not yet been widely detected by antivirus engines. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. WixStudio is confirmed as the hosting platform, with the subdomain created on an undetermined date. The infrastructure shows no current blocklist presence and maintains neutral trust scores across available reputation services. Despite low detection and reputation scores, the domain is actively serving a spoofed Microsoft 365 login page designed to harvest corporate credentials. As this domain remains active and represents a targeted credential harvesting threat, organizations are strongly advised to block traffic to publicstartcom.wixstudio.com at the firewall and DNS level. Users should be warned not to interact with any links or attachments from this domain. Security teams should inspect email and web traffic for signs of Microsoft 365 credential phishing and consider deploying multi-factor authentication (MFA) controls to mitigate the risk of account compromise. Continuous monitoring of this domain is recommended as the investigation progresses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/publicstartcom.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=publicstartcom.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.
