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: 2026-07-09 09:30:18 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 12:47:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f45c8-077c-709a-bdb8-6a4ccd78577b/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-09 09:34:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The risk level for startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com is currently labeled as under investigation, categorized specifically as a generic phishing threat. This domain is active and poses risks through potential credential harvesting or impersonation tactics aimed at users seeking legitimate services or information. The domain startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com has a VirusTotal score of 0 detections out of 95 scanned files, indicating it has not yet been flagged by major security vendors. However, it resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118, which can be correlated to malicious activities. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, further suggesting attempts at legitimacy to deceive users. A thorough analysis of its infrastructure reveals no listed creation date, nor does it seem present on reputable blocklists, increasing concerns about its undetected status in known threat intelligence resources. The lack of trust scores contributes to the elevated risk of phishing attempts originating from this domain. Mitigation steps for generic phishing threats like the one posed by startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com include enhancing user awareness regarding suspicious links and email campaigns. Organizations should implement email security measures such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configurations to prevent domain spoofing. Continuous monitoring for known malicious IPs and domains, combined with an active threat intelligence gathering process, can further enhance protective measures against emerging phishing schemes. It is crucial to engage incident response protocols swiftly to neutralize any potential user exposure or data compromise linked to this malicious domain. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 TLS cert SHA-256: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 ## 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 (operator 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/startcdns-ledgr.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=startcdns-ledgr.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
