# PhishDestroy threat dossier — studio-exiudus.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 12:26:38 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/studio-exiudus.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Cluster25, CyRadar, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, 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: Exodus® Web3 Wallet | Exodus® Browser Extension ## 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 detected: 2026-06-09 05:19:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-08 18:31:37 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 12:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:10:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain studio-exiudus.wixstudio.com has been identified as a high-risk phishing infrastructure impersonating Exodus, a cryptocurrency wallet provider. This domain specifically targets users by mimicking the Exodus browser extension download page, presenting itself as a legitimate Web3 wallet interface. Analysis confirms this as a brand impersonation threat designed to harvest credentials or distribute malicious payloads. The domain is currently offline, but prior activity warrants close monitoring. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC, with a creation date of June 08, 2026, indicating potential domain squatting or preemptive registration for malicious use. Security vendors flagged this domain on VirusTotal, with 13 of 95 engines detecting it as malicious. The domain appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. Technical indicators include the use of Wix hosting, React framework, Google Cloud infrastructure, and a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The page title, 'Exodus® Web3 Wallet | Exodus® Browser Extension,' directly mirrors the branding of the legitimate Exodus service, increasing the likelihood of successful deception. While the domain is currently offline, the infrastructure remains a potential vector for future phishing campaigns. Organizations and users are advised to block this domain at the network level and monitor for reemergence under similar subdomains or hosting providers. Security teams should review logs for connections to studio-exiudus.wixstudio.com and investigate any associated IP addresses or SSL certificates. End-users should verify the authenticity of wallet download pages by cross-referencing official sources and avoiding third-party hosting platforms for critical software. ## 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/studio-exiudus.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=studio-exiudus.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.
