# PhishDestroy threat dossier — teach-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 13:30:15 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/teach-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 60/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 0/94 security vendors flagged this domain ## 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: 2026-04-04 HTTP response: 404 ## 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: 2026-04-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-05 00:00:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:05:21 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-05 10:27:21 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d5a47-e66f-749e-8299-4e0906659b59/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/teach-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.teach-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=teach-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/teach-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/teach-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-05 00:03:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies teach-desktop.wixstudio.com as a generic phishing domain potentially hosting a cryptocurrency drainer kit, currently under active investigation. This platform mimics legitimate desktop environments to deceive victims into connecting their wallets or submitting sensitive credentials, aligning with observed behaviors in crypto-focused phishing campaigns. The threat actor behind this infrastructure appears to leverage WixStudio’s hosting service to obfuscate their malicious operations while maintaining a facade of legitimacy through a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. This domain resolves to the IP address 34.144.206.118 and exhibits minimal detection coverage across security vendors, with VirusTotal reporting 0 out of 95 engines flagging it as malicious. The domain was registered recently and is hosted under Wix’s infrastructure, which may complicate traditional takedown efforts. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) does not currently list this domain, and its presence on public blocklists remains limited, indicating it has evaded broad detection thus far. The use of a legitimate hosting provider combined with negligible detection underscores the need for real-time behavioral analysis and proactive threat hunting. As of this advisory, teach-desktop.wixstudio.com remains active, with no confirmed takedown actions taken by hosting providers or law enforcement. Users are strongly advised to verify any unsolicited links via PhishDestroy before engaging, particularly those involving cryptocurrency transactions or wallet connections. The risk level remains under investigation but should be treated as active due to the domain’s potential to facilitate financial theft. Immediate defensive measures include blocking the IP 34.144.206.118 at the network perimeter and monitoring for outbound connections to this domain from corporate endpoints. Further IOCs and behavioral patterns will be updated as the investigation progresses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 ## 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/teach-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=teach-desktop.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.
