## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Credential Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, Sophos
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
Page title:      404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-08 18:31:37 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-29 00:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 01:10:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, starts-exudos.wixstudio.com, has been identified as a credential harvesting phishing site targeting users through deceptive login portals. Currently, the domain is offline, displaying a 404 error page titled '404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio.' No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed, though the infrastructure suggests potential targeting of cloud service credentials or generic account takeovers.  Analysis indicates the domain was flagged by 11 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detection engines classifying it under generic_phishing. Registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on June 08, 2026, the domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Wix hosting services, React framework, Google Cloud, and Google Cloud CDN, with an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt. The domain's creation date is anomalous, potentially indicating typosquatting or pre-registered malicious infrastructure.  The domain has since been taken offline, though its prior activity warrants continued monitoring. Organizations are advised to block the domain at the DNS or proxy level, update endpoint protection rules to include this indicator, and conduct internal audits for any prior interactions. Users should be educated on recognizing phishing attempts, particularly those leveraging cloud-based hosting platforms. Security teams are encouraged to review logs for connections to this domain and assess potential credential exposure.

## 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.
