# PhishDestroy threat dossier — started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-24 21:48:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: Ledger ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/91 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 162.159.143.12 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Wix.com Ltd. Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio 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: 2026-07-23 14:38:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-24 20:20:20 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-24 00:26:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f8efa-ce6f-77fb-a059-90e07a1638d9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-23 14:39:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] started-usen-desktop.wixstudio phishing site impersonates login Analysis conducted on July 23, 2026 identifies started-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain hosted on Wix.com Ltd infrastructure. The domain resolves to IP address 162.159.143.12, an endpoint that currently returns no valid nameserver records (NS_NOT_FOUND). This configuration is atypical for legitimate Wix-hosted sites, which normally retain default Wix nameservers. At the time of investigation, the domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy, though no additional vendor detections or Safe Browsing flags are documented. The registrar of record is Wix.com Ltd, and the domain remains operational, serving content that has not yet been classified by automated crawlers or sandbox systems. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is part of Wix Studio’s subdomain space, which allows users to create custom subdomains under wixstudio.com without requiring separate DNS delegation. This feature is frequently exploited by threat actors to rapidly deploy phishing pages without triggering registrar-level alerts. The absence of nameserver records suggests the subdomain may have been created recently or configured improperly, though Wix’s platform does not mandate public DNS visibility for subdomains. No SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page titles are currently available, limiting further assessment of the site’s content or intended target. Defenders are advised to treat this domain as suspicious based on its blocklist presence and atypical nameserver configuration. Network-level blocking at 162.159.143.12 or via domain-based rules is recommended pending further analysis. Security teams should monitor for additional detections or brand impersonation patterns, as the current dataset does not specify whether the site mimics a corporate login, financial service, or other high-value target. No evidence links the domain to known phishing kits or threat actor infrastructure at this time. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b3a28e80142aa4908d146d48f8f4cfdf 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-usen-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=started-usen-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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
