  - 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: 2026-04-16 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-16 18:25:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-23 01:59:50 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-16 21:01:01 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-16 18:26:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

started-hardwares.wixstudio.com is a recently identified crypto drainer posing as a hardware retail site. PhishDestroy analysis confirms this domain is active and under investigation for stealing cryptocurrency by tricking users into connecting their wallets or entering private keys. The site mimics legitimate hardware stores to harvest seed phrases and drain digital assets. SSL encryption (Let’s Encrypt) is present but does not indicate safety.  PhishDestroy identifies this domain based on zero detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans, resolving to IP 34.144.206.118. The site is hosted on Wix Studio and was flagged for crypto drainer activity. No legitimate hardware retailer uses a Wix subdomain for transactions, and the absence of detections suggests it is newly launched and actively avoiding detection.  If you visited started-hardwares.wixstudio.com, do not connect any cryptocurrency wallets or enter private keys, seed phrases, or recovery codes. Disconnect immediately and revoke any wallet connections through your wallet’s settings. Run a malware scan on your device and change passwords used on the site. Report the domain to your wallet provider and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Consider transferring remaining assets to a new wallet with updated security settings.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab

## 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.
