# PhishDestroy threat dossier — starts-platforms.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 18:13:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/starts-platforms.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 67/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Gridinsoft, Webroot ## 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: 2026-04-28 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab 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: 2026-04-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-28 18:15:06 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-01 13:19:26 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-29 02:19:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dd4a5-3fa0-72eb-b891-8bb078949c11/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/starts-platforms.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.starts-platforms.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=starts-platforms.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/starts-platforms.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/starts-platforms.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-28 18:18:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies start-platforms.wixstudio.com (seed 883458) as an active generic phishing domain masquerading as a legitimate start platform service. This domain is currently under investigation as a potential crypto drainer, designed to deceive users into connecting wallets or submitting credentials under false pretenses. While the exact drainer kit remains unverified, the infrastructure suggests a setup intended for harvesting cryptocurrency assets or sensitive login data. Initial observations indicate a well-constructed impersonation, leveraging a plausible subdomain under wixstudio.com to lend an air of legitimacy. The threat is classified as generic due to the absence of brand-specific artifacts, though the targeting of crypto-related services is evident in its operational design. This domain resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 and is secured with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which may further obscure its malicious nature from casual inspection. VirusTotal currently reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating that this domain has evaded broad detection mechanisms. The domain was registered through an unspecified registrar, and its creation date has not been disclosed in available records. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed, and no blocklist entries were identified during the initial assessment. These technical indicators suggest a relatively new or stealthily operated domain, designed to operate under the radar while it remains active. As of the latest assessment, start-platforms.wixstudio.com is flagged as active with a status of 'under_investigation' and poses a risk level pending further analysis. PhishDestroy has flagged this domain for immediate scrutiny due to its potential to facilitate crypto drainer activity. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and to verify any suspicious links using PhishDestroy’s tools. While the immediate risk is being monitored, the lack of detections and stealthy infrastructure introduce a non-trivial threat. Proactive blocking of this domain and associated IP is recommended until conclusive evidence of its malicious intent is established. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/starts-platforms.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=starts-platforms.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.
