# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 23:51:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 62/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, Gridinsoft ## 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: 2026-04-14 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab 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: 2026-04-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-14 07:54:24 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 02:10:01 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-14 10:29:46 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8a54-91d1-7421-bf2b-54782868493d/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-14 07:55:22 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-live-desktop.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain under investigation for hosting a counterfeit desktop login page designed to harvest user credentials. The threat level is classified as under_investigation, indicating confirmed malicious intent pending further classification. The domain leverages WixStudio’s hosting infrastructure to mimic a legitimate desktop environment, tricking users into submitting sensitive login details. This domain exhibits multiple red flags across security platforms. VirusTotal currently reports 0 out of 95 antivirus engines detecting malicious activity, highlighting its evasion tactics. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118, which is associated with cloud hosting services often exploited by threat actors. The SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt suggests an attempt to appear legitimate, though this does not guarantee safety. No historical data on registrar or creation date is available in public sources, which may indicate recent registration or obfuscation efforts. The domain has not yet been listed on major blocklists, but its low detection rate and active phishing behavior warrant immediate caution. Mitigation for this threat involves immediate avoidance of the domain and any linked login portals. Users who may have entered credentials should change passwords immediately and enable multi-factor authentication on all related accounts. Organizations should block access to 34.144.206.118 at the network level and report the domain to browser blocklists and security vendors. Continuous monitoring is recommended, as this domain may escalate to higher-risk classifications if further malicious activity is detected. Users should verify the authenticity of login pages through official channels before submitting credentials. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-live-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started-live-desktop.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.
