# PhishDestroy threat dossier — window-desktop.wixstudio.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-05-01 21:28:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/window-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 56/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, 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: 2026-04-23 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: 2026-04-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-23 22:50:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-28 13:40:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-28 10:02:14 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dbbe3-221d-73da-b156-60ce8ffd02be/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/window-desktop.wixstudio.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.window-desktop.wixstudio.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=window-desktop.wixstudio.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/window-desktop.wixstudio.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/window-desktop.wixstudio.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-23 22:51:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies window-desktop.wixstudio.com as an active crypto drainer campaign impersonating Microsoft Windows desktop software. This domain is currently operational and has been classified as an elevated threat due to its malicious intent to deceive users into transferring cryptocurrency to attacker-controlled wallets. The campaign relies on spoofed branding to appear legitimate, tricking victims into downloading or interacting with malicious payloads under the guise of a Windows system update or software installer. This domain was flagged by 3 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating a moderate detection rate but sufficient evidence of malicious activity to warrant caution. It resolves to IP address 34.144.206.118, which is associated with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, adding a false layer of legitimacy. Further, the domain is hosted on WixStudio’s platform, likely leveraging free website builders to rapidly deploy and discard phishing infrastructure. With an elevated risk classification and active status, this domain poses a significant threat to users seeking authentic Windows-related software or updates. Given the active nature of this campaign, users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with window-desktop.wixstudio.com or any associated links. PhishDestroy recommends verifying the legitimacy of software downloads by cross-checking domains against official sources, such as Microsoft’s verified domains or app stores. If exposure has occurred, disconnect from the internet, scan for malware, and report the domain to PhishDestroy for further investigation. Network defenders should block the domain and IP address at the firewall level to prevent further compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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/window-desktop.wixstudio.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=window-desktop.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.
