The domain highway1.studio has been classified as a generic phishing site targeting users by impersonating a creative design agency. The site returned HTTP 200 and displays the title “Highway 1 Studios — L.A. Based Creative Design Agency,” indicating an attempt to lure visitors with a legitimate‑looking brand. The service is currently active as of the report date, July 12, 2026. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain was registered on March 23, 2026 and is hosted behind Cloudflare’s network, using the nameservers anuj.ns.cloudflare.com and adelaide.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution points to the IP address 185.158.133.1, which is located in Germany (DET FRA). The TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, confirming the presence of HTTPS. A Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 further reinforces the malicious nature of the host. Threat intelligence confirms the malicious classification: three of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, and it appears on three public blocklists. The site is listed in AlienVault OTX with twenty‑three distinct threat pulses, and it has been actively blocked by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL. These data points collectively demonstrate that security communities have observed phishing activity associated with this domain. Defenders should immediately block traffic to highway1.studio at the network perimeter and add the IP 185.158.133.1 to deny lists. Continuous monitoring of DNS queries for the domain and its associated Cloudflare nameservers is advised to detect potential re‑hosting attempts. Organizations should also educate end users about the fake “Highway 1 Studios” brand to reduce credential‑harvesting success rates.

Accreditation and RAA context
Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
