## 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.

startoledgar.wixstudio.com Fake Brand Alert

The domain startoledgar.wixstudio.com is currently active and is suspected of being involved in generic phishing activities. This domain is registered through Wix.com Ltd. and is associated with the IP address 162.159.143.12. The domain is noted to have been blocked by the security service PhishDestroy, indicating recognition of its potential malicious use.

Despite being scanned by 95 different vendors on VirusTotal, it currently does not raise any flags, although the absence of detections should not be interpreted as an assurance of safety. It appears on one security blocklist, which further corroborates the suspicion surrounding its legitimacy. The nameservers for this domain are reported as NS_NOT_FOUND, suggesting potential domain misconfiguration.

Given the current risk level is listed as under investigation, it is advisable for defenders to monitor network traffic associated with this domain, apply blocking measures if necessary, and educate users about the potential risks of interacting with domains that are newly registered or lack proper configuration. The precise nature of the content hosted on this domain has not yet been analyzed, leaving uncertainty regarding specific phishing tactics that may be employed.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1
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.
