# PhishDestroy threat dossier — us-htxx-apps.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 16:31:18 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/us-htxx-apps.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing Targeted brand: HTX ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 5/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] Registered: 2026-06-08 Page title: Log In | HTX® - Sign In ## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-08 19:39:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-08 18:31:38 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 01:07:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, us-htxx-apps.wixstudio.com, is a confirmed brand impersonation threat designed to deceive users of the HTX cryptocurrency exchange. The site presents a fake login page titled 'Log In | HTX® - Sign In,' closely mimicking the legitimate HTX platform to trick visitors into entering their account credentials. Such impersonation attacks often lead to unauthorized account access, financial theft, or further exploitation through compromised credentials. The primary risk lies in the site's ability to harvest sensitive login details, which attackers may use to drain funds or conduct additional fraudulent activities. Analysis indicates this domain was registered on June 08, 2026, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, an unusually future-dated creation that suggests potential domain spoofing or registry manipulation. The site is flagged by 5 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, and it appears on three security blocklists, including PhishDestroy, PhishingArmy, and OISD. Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Wix hosting, React for frontend development, and Google Cloud CDN for content delivery, alongside a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate—common elements in both legitimate and malicious sites. The presence of HTTP/3 and HSTS further complicates detection, as these technologies are often employed to evade basic security filters. If you visited us-htxx-apps.wixstudio.com and entered any login credentials, immediate action is required. First, revoke access to any active sessions on the legitimate HTX platform and enable multi-factor authentication if not already active. Change your HTX password using a secure device, ensuring the new password is unique and complex. Monitor your account for unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity, and report any anomalies to HTX support. Additionally, scan your device for malware, as some impersonation sites may attempt to deliver payloads. Users should also verify the legitimacy of any communication claiming to be from HTX by cross-referencing with official channels. ## 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-htxx-apps.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=us-htxx-apps.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.
