# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started-edger.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-03 01:57:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-edger.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 47/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 2/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Cluster25, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: AS396982 Google LLC Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-01 14:52:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 18:17:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1dba-fc8c-749c-89be-119fbf3d6bff/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started-edger.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started-edger.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started-edger.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started-edger.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started-edger.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 14:55:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain started-edger.wixstudio.com has been flagged for involvement in generic phishing activities. Although there is no evidence of a specific brand impersonation or use of a known drainer kit, the structure and operational behavior of the domain align with common phishing techniques designed to collect user credentials or sensitive information through deceptive means. The domain is hosted under a subdomain service, which is a tactic often leveraged by threat actors to deploy and rotate malicious content efficiently. Technical analysis reveals several pertinent indicators. The domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. As of the current assessment, the domain has not been flagged by any security vendors on VirusTotal, with a detection score of 0/95. There are no entries showing this domain on major blocklists at this time, and its registration and hosting are typical for subdomain-based deployments. No Google Safe Browsing warnings are present, and the domain remains operational and publicly accessible as of the latest check. Given its active status and the absence of blocklist detections, continued monitoring is required. Response actions thus far include initiating an investigation and alerting relevant stakeholders. The risk remains under evaluation due to the lack of widespread detection, but users are advised to exercise caution with links referencing this domain and to report any suspicious activity. Organizations should update internal blocklists as needed and monitor for emerging indicators of compromise associated with this infrastructure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 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/started-edger.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started-edger.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.
