# PhishDestroy threat dossier — treser-started.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-29 13:31:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/treser-started.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Trezor ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Cluster25, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft URLQuery: 2 detections 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 Registered: 2016-12-17 Expires: 2027-12-17 Page title: Trezor.io/Start® — Starting Up Your Device® ## 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 15:01:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:59:06 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 12:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 18:45:50 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed084-4c01-75c7-9914-79868c933492/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5fd15c13-f5e3-4507-bb03-56e994cd37fd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/treser-started.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.treser-started.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=treser-started.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/treser-started.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/treser-started.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:38:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is classified as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat targeting users of a hardware cryptocurrency wallet. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was designed to mimic the official device initialization process, specifically replicating the Trezor.io/Start® — Starting Up Your Device® page title. The intent appears to be the theft of cryptographic seed phrases or login credentials during the setup phase, a critical attack vector for unauthorized asset access. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain treser-started.wixstudio.com was registered through a commercial registrar on December 17, 2016, though recent malicious activity suggests compromise or repurposing. The domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118 and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, providing a false sense of legitimacy. Detection metrics show the domain appears on five security blocklists, including MetaMask, PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, SEAL, and OISD. VirusTotal reports 5 out of 95 security vendors flag the domain as malicious, indicating moderate but consistent detection across the security community. Mitigation requires immediate user awareness and technical controls. Users should verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official documentation and avoiding any unofficial setup pages. Network-level protections should include blocking the domain and associated IP address 34.144.206.118 at firewalls and DNS resolvers. Organizations handling cryptocurrency infrastructure should implement strict allowlisting of official domains and enforce multi-factor authentication for all wallet-related operations. Monitoring for similar impersonation patterns, such as lookalike domains or cloned page titles, is recommended to prevent future credential harvesting attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-A96CDC Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 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/treser-started.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=treser-started.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.
