# PhishDestroy threat dossier — webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 07:58:12 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 79/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Exodus ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ChainPatrol, alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 34.144.206.118 (US, Kansas City) ASN: ASAS396982 GOOGLE-CLOUD-PLATFORM - Google LLC, US Hosting org: AS396982 Google LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"] 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: 2026-07-04 14:41:49 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 08:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-04 18:17:26 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f2d24-ff83-741d-adf6-3260d8d343f8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-04 14:44:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com, is under investigation for credential harvesting phishing activity. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is currently active and designed to impersonate educational or corporate login portals, though no specific brand has been confirmed at this stage. The domain remains operational and has not yet been widely flagged by security vendors. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118, hosted on a platform that provides SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt. As of the latest scan, the domain has been flagged by 0 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating it has not yet been widely detected or blocklisted. The subdomain structure suggests use of a legitimate website builder service, which may contribute to its initial evasion of detection mechanisms. The domain remains active and poses a potential risk for credential theft targeting users of educational or professional services. Organizations are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to 34.144.206.118 and webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com, implement web filtering rules to block access, and conduct user awareness training on recognizing phishing attempts. Security teams should treat this domain as high-risk pending further investigation and consider submitting samples to threat intelligence platforms for broader detection. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 6/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f4feb61d53bc0de67557513853fa54f1 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/webstart-exeduso.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=webstart-exeduso.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.
