# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started-live-us.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-22 19:05:09 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-live-us.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 8/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, CyRadar, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Seclookup, VIPRE ## 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: 2026-04-05 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: 2026-04-05 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 10:26:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:09:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-05 17:52:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5c87-4c0f-74fa-b8f4-0ad4f18b1d80/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started-live-us.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started-live-us.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started-live-us.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started-live-us.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started-live-us.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 10:27:16 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-us.wixstudio.com as a credential theft phishing domain designed to steal user login credentials under the guise of a live streaming or content delivery page. This site masquerades as a legitimate Wix-hosted studio but is engineered to capture entered credentials and transmit them to attacker-controlled servers. Security teams have flagged this domain due to its deceptive branding and redirection patterns that mimic official platforms, putting users at risk of account takeover across multiple services. The infrastructure behind the domain is hosted on Google Cloud (IP: 34.144.206.118) and leverages a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear trustworthy, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. This domain was flagged through PhishDestroy’s automated pipeline using seed 84d120 and currently shows 0 detections out of 95 engines on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious. The site is actively resolving and hosted by Wix Studios, a legitimate web hosting provider, which may contribute to initial low detection rates. The domain was registered recently and uses a subdomain structure (wixstudio.com) to exploit trust in the Wix brand, making it harder for users to distinguish from authentic Wix-hosted content. Technical indicators include the use of a shared cloud IP (34.144.206.118) with other suspicious domains and reliance on a free Let’s Encrypt certificate, common in phishing operations to avoid browser warnings. If you have visited started-live-us.wixstudio.com and entered any login credentials, immediately change your passwords on all related accounts and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Scan your device with updated antivirus software and review recent account activity for unauthorized access. Report any compromised credentials to your IT team or platform support. Avoid re-entering credentials on this site and notify your security team or use PhishDestroy’s domain lookup tool to verify site legitimacy before interacting. Do not download files or click links from untrusted domains like this one, even if they appear legitimate at first glance. ## 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-us.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started-live-us.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.
