# PhishDestroy threat dossier — startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 07:58:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 72/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/95 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Page title: EXODUS® Web3 Wallet® | Getting Started Exodus™ HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-10 13:30:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4bca-09fc-739e-8d9b-ed5075287004/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 13:34:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com, is currently under investigation for operating a fake login portal designed to harvest credentials from users of educational services. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate academic or institutional login pages, likely targeting students, faculty, or administrative personnel. The domain remains active and has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain is hosted on WixStudio's platform, resolving to the IP address 34.144.206.118. As of the latest assessment, the domain has not been detected by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it may still be in the early stages of deployment or evading detection through obfuscation techniques. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common practice among both legitimate and malicious sites to establish encrypted connections. No historical blocklist records or trust scores are available, suggesting this is a newly observed threat vector. The domain remains active and operational, posing an ongoing risk to unsuspecting users. Organizations and individuals are advised to block access to this domain at the network level and monitor for any attempts to access it from internal systems. Users who may have interacted with the site should immediately reset credentials for any accounts entered on the portal, enable multi-factor authentication where possible, and scan their devices for potential malware. Security teams should treat this domain as a high-priority indicator of compromise and investigate any related network traffic or endpoint activity. ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/startweb-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=startweb-exeduso.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
