# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 04:33:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, 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: 2026-04-08 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-04-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-08 23:46:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:09:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-09 03:26:45 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d6ed6-8367-717e-8447-e32d433355e0/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-08 23:48:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com as an active domain engaged in a fake login scam, currently labeled under investigation due to ongoing risk assessment. The domain attempts to deceive users by mimicking legitimate login pages to harvest credentials, posing a significant threat to user security and data privacy. This domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and holds an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which might lend it false legitimacy in the eyes of unsuspecting users. VirusTotal analysis currently shows 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating that the site has not yet been widely flagged by automated scanners. No known blocklist entries or trust scores were provided. The domain operates via wixstudio.com infrastructure, commonly used for legitimate web hosting, which can complicate identification efforts. Users are advised to exercise caution and avoid entering any credentials or personal information on started-desktop-live.wixstudio.com. Verification through trusted services such as PhishDestroy is recommended prior to interaction. Organizations should consider implementing email and web filters targeting this domain and related infrastructure. End users should enable multi-factor authentication on accounts and regularly monitor for suspicious login attempts. Staying informed about emerging phishing threats ensures enhanced protection against credential theft attempts analogous to those observed with this domain. ## 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-desktop-live.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started-desktop-live.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.
