# PhishDestroy threat dossier — startleger.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 06:21:54 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startleger.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 11/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## 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: 2026-06-14 Expires: 2027-12-17 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 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: 2026-06-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-14 08:45:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-27 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-14 08:45:51 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ec4e0-46c0-759c-ab15-aff9d0dac8f5/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/startleger.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.startleger.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=startleger.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/startleger.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/startleger.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:23:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, startleger.wixstudio.com, is flagged as a high-risk phishing portal designed to impersonate Wix Studio, a legitimate website builder platform. Analysis indicates the site was engineered to harvest user credentials, financial information, or propagate malware under the guise of a 404 error page. While no specific drainer kit or brand logo misuse was identified in the available data, the infrastructure aligns with credential theft campaigns commonly deployed through compromised or maliciously registered subdomains. The use of a generic 404 error page suggests an attempt to evade detection while maintaining operational readiness for targeted attacks. Infrastructure analysis reveals critical technical indicators: the domain is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, with a creation date of June 14, 2026, which is anomalous and likely indicative of fraudulent registration practices. It resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and holds a VirusTotal detection score of 11/95 security vendors. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD, and is assigned a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy to malicious sites. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status was provided, but the combination of blocklist presence and vendor detections underscores its high-risk classification. As of the latest assessment, startleger.wixstudio.com has been taken offline, likely in response to security vendor reports and blocklist inclusions. However, the domain's infrastructure remains a residual risk, as threat actors may reactivate it or repurpose the IP address for future campaigns. Users and organizations are advised to treat any prior interaction with this domain as compromised, particularly if credentials or sensitive data were entered. Network-level blocking of the IP 34.144.206.118 and monitoring for related subdomains under wixstudio.com are recommended to mitigate further exposure. The anomalous creation date and registrar details should be incorporated into threat intelligence feeds for proactive defense. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 11/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/startleger.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=startleger.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.
