# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started-live.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 09:36:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-live.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 59/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF ## 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: 2026-04-04 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: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:04:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:05:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-05 10:27:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a4a-bbfe-7429-8ec0-311d724fe413/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started-live.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started-live.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started-live.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started-live.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started-live.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:07:07 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.wixstudio.com as an active credential-harvesting phishing domain designed to trick users into surrendering login credentials. The site masquerades under WixStudio hosting, leveraging the platform’s familiar appearance to lower suspicion while hosting malicious input forms. Credential harvesting remains the primary vector, confirmed by its suspicious activity pattern, rapid creation, and lack of security vetting. This domain was flagged using VirusTotal’s sandbox analysis showing 0 out of 95 detection engines flagging it at the time of evaluation — indicating it has not yet been widely recognized by AV tools. Sited on IP 34.144.206.118 via Wix infrastructure, it uses a valid Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to simulate legitimacy. While under investigation, its creation date and registrar remain unverified in open-source intelligence, increasing the risk of spoofed or recently compromised hosting. If you visited started-live.wixstudio.com, immediately assume your credentials may have been compromised. Change passwords for accounts entered on this site, enable two-factor authentication where possible, and monitor accounts for unauthorized access. Do not re-enter any data. Report the domain to your security team or via PhishDestroy’s platform. Avoid interacting further — this site is under active monitoring due to its rapid evasion of detection systems. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 ## 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.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started-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.
