# PhishDestroy threat dossier — us-io-gatee.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 01:10:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/us-io-gatee.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Cluster25, CRDF, Gridinsoft ## 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: 2026-04-13 Page title: 404 Error: Page Not Found | Wix Studio HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R12 Expires: 2026-06-04 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab 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: 2026-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-13 13:30:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 02:10:04 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-13 20:45:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d8661-e6f0-767b-beca-c2f856fc35af/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/us-io-gatee.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.us-io-gatee.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=us-io-gatee.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/us-io-gatee.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/us-io-gatee.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-13 13:31:04 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-io-gatee.wixstudio.com as an active crypto-draining scam site deployed on the Wix Studio platform. The domain leverages a generic phishing kit designed to impersonate an IO-Gate service, tricking users into connecting crypto wallets and signing malicious payloads. No specific brand or drainer kit signature has been extracted yet; however, the presence of a drainer payload is inferred from behavioral telemetry and payload analysis. Given the site’s structure and hosting environment, it is likely operated by a financially motivated actor targeting cryptocurrency users with high-value phishing lures. This domain resolves to IP 34.144.206.118 and is SSL-certified via Let’s Encrypt. As of the latest scan, VirusTotal reports 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating evasion against current signatures. The domain was created recently and continues to operate with a clean reputation across major blocklists, showing zero current listings. Registrar details point to Wix.com’s hosting infrastructure, which has been abused to host short-lived scam pages. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet flagged the domain, and WHOIS data remains privacy-protected, hindering attribution. As of present, the domain remains ACTIVE and under investigation with medium confidence in the threat assessment. Immediate response actions include domain takedown via Wix abuse channels and IP de-listing via cloud provider requests. Users are strongly advised to avoid interaction, report the domain to security vendors, and inspect wallet connection attempts for suspicious payloads. Residual risk persists due to unpatched abuse vectors within the hosting environment and delayed detection signatures. Continuous monitoring is required to prevent further victimization and refine threat intelligence around this campaign. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 9dae2d380288ac898efffb0f06444e23 TLS cert SHA-256: 79b690ec6aae60ba0de52d269638de0a570e5a2c2e467d8b649454d39b9edaab ## 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-io-gatee.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=us-io-gatee.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.
