# PhishDestroy threat dossier — trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-30 16:36:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 93/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Certego, Cluster25, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## 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: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 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: 2016-12-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-16 10:06:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:54:33 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-30 16:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 12:36:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecf76-5046-729e-bb49-e322f3950b85/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/bbd2a9f6-b11f-44d7-81e5-976d355b4c51 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:43:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com, operates as a credential harvesting platform specifically designed to deceive cryptocurrency exchange users. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate trading interfaces to capture login credentials, API keys, and personal identification details. The infrastructure is tailored to exploit users of digital asset platforms, leveraging social engineering tactics to induce urgent account verification or security update prompts. The threat extends beyond immediate financial loss, as stolen credentials may facilitate subsequent unauthorized transactions or identity theft within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and was originally registered on December 17, 2016, through a major domain registrar. Current detection metrics show 5 out of 95 security vendors on a prominent threat intelligence platform flagging the domain as malicious. The domain appears on three distinct security blocklists, including both commercial and community-driven threat feeds. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further corroborates the malicious classification, while the use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate attempts to lend an air of legitimacy to the phishing operation. Users who have interacted with trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com should immediately revoke any entered credentials, particularly those associated with cryptocurrency exchanges or financial services. It is recommended to conduct a full system scan using updated security tools to detect potential secondary infections. Affected individuals should monitor all linked accounts for unauthorized activity and enable multi-factor authentication where available. Financial institutions and cryptocurrency platforms should be notified of potential credential exposure to initiate protective measures. Organizations are advised to update their security policies to include this domain and its associated IP in blocklists to prevent future access attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-357F1D Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 TLS cert SHA-256: c2c2f0e645b35156ce5cf39339fbe5ae5ffb02446fe2aeb96da83b6fe9b20ad4 ## 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/trade-bitunix.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trade-bitunix.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.
