# PhishDestroy threat dossier — us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 13:31:02 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/us-en-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: 2026-04-04 23:38:05 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/019d5a36-1aa0-70fe-b267-60c7702ede0f/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-04 23:39:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com as an active phishing domain currently under investigation for distributing malicious desktop application installers. The site lures users by masquerading as legitimate desktop software, potentially harvesting credentials or installing malware once an executable is downloaded. Given its current status and the absence of antivirus detection, this domain poses a credible threat to users expecting genuine software downloads. The infrastructure behind the domain—resolving to IP 34.144.206.118—suggests use of cloud hosting, which is frequently leveraged by threat actors to rapidly deploy and rotate phishing infrastructure. This domain was flagged with a VirusTotal detection ratio of 0 out of 95 antivirus engines as of the latest scan, indicating it remains undetected by most conventional security tools. While the domain uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate, this does not guarantee safety. The domain appears to be part of a broader campaign targeting English-speaking users seeking desktop utilities or productivity tools. The combination of low detection, cloud hosting, and active phishing content elevates the risk level and warrants immediate caution. If you have visited us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com or downloaded any files from the site, disconnect from the internet and run a full antivirus scan on your device. Avoid entering any login credentials or personal information on the site. Report the domain to your security team or through trusted threat intelligence platforms. Monitor your accounts for unusual activity and consider changing passwords if you entered any details. Exercise heightened caution with any unsolicited software downloads, especially from sites claiming to offer desktop applications. ## 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/us-en-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=us-en-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.
