Wix subdomain flagged as phishing by BitDefender, ESET, and four other engines despite a 9.6-year-old parent domain.
Score breakdown
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
Website Preview
Automated page render — captured in a safe sandbox. What an ordinary visitor would see when loading the site.
Intelligence
Six of 92 engines marked the page malicious, with BitDefender, ESET, Cluster25, Forcepoint, G-Data, and Webroot all identifying phishing behaviour. The hosting IP carries a moderate abuse score of 32 out of 100 with 21 prior abuse reports. The domain itself is 9.6 years old and registered through GoDaddy, which normally suggests legitimacy, yet the specific subdomain is the target of the detections. No traffic ranking exists and the page sits on Wix infrastructure, a platform frequently abused for quick malicious deployments. The combination of multiple engine flags plus IP abuse history outweighs the age of the parent domain.
