  - 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-20 13:23:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

user-started.wixstudio.com: Confirmed Phishing Site

Analysis as of July 20, 2026 indicates that the host user-started.wixstudio.com is currently active and has been classified as a generic phishing site. The domain resolves to the IPv4 address 34.144.206.118. Registration details show the domain was created through Wix.com Ltd., a well‑known website‑building platform, and the authoritative nameservers could not be retrieved (NS_NOT_FOUND). The site has been added to a single security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy filtering service. No additional infrastructure such as extra IPs, CNAME chains, or external hosting providers has been observed. The lack of visible nameserver data and the reliance on a single hosting IP suggest a straightforward deployment typical of low‑complexity phishing operations. At present the investigation cannot confirm the specific content or credential‑capture mechanisms used on the site, as page‑level analysis has not been performed. Defenders should continue to enforce blocklisting for the identified IP address and domain, monitor traffic for connections to 34.144.206.118, and consider adding the domain to broader threat‑intel feeds. Ongoing observation is recommended to detect any expansion of the infrastructure or changes in hosting configuration.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
