# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-21 07:14:44 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 50/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain ## 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: 2026-05-02 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: 2026-05-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-03 00:16:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-16 11:37:17 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-03 06:14:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dea8a-4992-70ac-8b00-f253f7cf5305/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-03 00:18:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has launched an active investigation into started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com due to credible indicators linking it to a generic phishing campaign. This domain is currently operational and configured to impersonate legitimate services, likely targeting unsuspecting users via deceptive links or spoofed login portals. The attackers appear to be leveraging Wix’s free hosting platform—abusing its legitimate infrastructure to host fraudulent pages—thus blending in with benign web content. While the SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt adds a superficial veneer of legitimacy, it does not validate the domain’s true intent. Initial telemetry shows this infrastructure is actively resolving to IP address 34.144.206.118, confirming live deployment and accessibility from the broader internet. The technical profile of started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com raises immediate concern. VirusTotal analysis confirms a current detection rate of 0/95 security engines, indicating that mainstream scanners have not yet flagged its malicious content. Based on passive DNS and historical WHOIS data (seed 4a6fe6), the domain appears to have been registered recently, though exact creation timestamps remain under verification. Given its low detectability and active hosting status, this domain poses a high risk to users who may inadvertently click on phishing emails, social media links, or malicious advertisements. Unlike highly targeted spear-phishing domains, this appears to be a broad, opportunistic campaign designed to harvest credentials or deliver malware through seemingly harmless web portals hosted on reputable platforms like Wix. If users have recently visited started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com—especially if prompted to enter login credentials, personal information, or payment details—they should immediately change any shared passwords, enable multi-factor authentication on relevant accounts, and monitor for signs of account takeover or fraudulent transactions. Disconnect from the network if suspicious activity is detected. Organizations should consider blocking this domain at the firewall and DNS level, and users should report any observed phishing attempts to their IT security teams. Given the current lack of vendor detection, manual blocking based on domain and IP (34.144.206.118) is strongly recommended to prevent further exploitation. This advisory will be updated as new IOCs or behavioral patterns emerge during continued monitoring. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 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/started--ledgrecom.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started--ledgrecom.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.
