## 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: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-04-11 10:21:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-21 16:09:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-11 18:18:28 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-11 10:22:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies starten-desktoplive.wixstudio.com (seed 09753e) as a credential harvesting domain masquerading under the WixStudio platform to deceive users into surrendering login credentials or sensitive data.

Technical indicators confirm this domain resolves to IPv4 address 34.144.206.118, registered under Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate issuance. VirusTotal currently scores 0/95 detections with no security engines flagging malicious payload or infrastructure. Registrar data remains redacted for ongoing investigation; domain creation date is pending WHOIS enumeration due to privacy protections. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status shows undetected (clean), while aggregate blocklist analytics report zero third-party block entries at time of classification.

Current status remains active and operational despite zero detections, posing immediate credential harvesting risk to unsuspecting users. Response actions include domain takedown escalation request submitted to WixTrust Abuse Desk and IP de-listing petition filed with hosting provider at 34.144.206.118. Remaining risk is classified as under_investigation, warranting heightened user vigilance against potential identity theft or financial fraud if credentials were already entered. Users are strongly advised to avoid interaction, verify HTTPS anomalies, and consult full investigation report for mitigation steps.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 5/94 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
