Registrar: Wix.com Ltd. Nameservers: NS_NOT_FOUND Page title: EXODUS® Web3 Wallet® | Getting Started Exodus™ HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR1 Expires: 2026-09-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-07-24 08:46:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 16:20:28 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-24 12:27:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f92e0-1150-766c-8285-a0e5df00bb47/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/us-en-exidus.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.us-en-exidus.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=us-en-exidus.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/us-en-exidus.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/us-en-exidus.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-24 08:47:51 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] us-en-exidus.wixstudio.com — Phishing Investigation Report On 24 July 2026 the domain us-en-exidus.wixstudio.com was observed in active phishing investigations. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 162.159.143.12 and is hosted by Wix.com Ltd., as indicated by the registrar information. The same IP is associated with Wix’s infrastructure, which frequently uses shared hosting environments. The domain appears on a single security blocklist and is currently blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. VirusTotal records show that the domain was submitted to 91 scanning engines; none of the engines returned a positive classification at the time of analysis. The lack of detections does not constitute evidence of benign behavior, especially given the limited visibility into the hosted content. Nameserver data could not be retrieved (NS_NOT_FOUND), preventing confirmation of DNS delegation or potential use of custom name servers. No SSL/TLS certificate details, HTTP status codes, page title, or content snapshots are available, leaving the exact phishing payload or targeted brand unspecified. The available evidence suggests that the domain is being leveraged as part of a generic phishing campaign, likely exploiting Wix’s rapid site‑creation capabilities to host malicious pages. The presence on a blocklist and the active status reported by PhishDestroy indicate that at least one security vendor has observed malicious activity originating from this host. However, the absence of additional detections and the lack of publicly disclosed content limit the ability to attribute a specific attack vector or victim profile. Defenders should consider immediate network‑level mitigation by adding 162.159.143.12 to deny‑lists or by enforcing DNS filtering for the fully qualified domain name. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s DNS records and any future VirusTotal submissions is recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b3a28e80142aa4908d146d48f8f4cfdf TLS cert SHA-256: 4d824d023de01f229e601938edcdb7020802d167c0d85fac21c644cf194c9450 ## 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 (operator 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-exidus.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=us-en-exidus.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
