## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 65/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: Bfore.Ai PreCrime

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      5.101.159.26 (RU, St Petersburg)
ASN:             AS198610 Beget LLC

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-05-01 15:40:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies obsopenbroadcastersoftware.com as a fraudulent domain crafted to deceive users seeking the Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) download. This site uses a blend of domain spoofing and phishing tactics to trick visitors into downloading malicious software or revealing sensitive credentials. Users expecting the legitimate OBS installer from obsproject.com may be redirected here through misleading search results or phishing links, exposing them to credential theft or malware installation.

This domain was flagged by only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors during scans dated April 25, 2025. The domain was registered through Beget LLC and resolves to IP 5.101.159.26. Its recent creation date and low detection rate suggest a newly launched operation likely leveraging search engine manipulation or targeted phishing campaigns. While not widely blocked, its purpose is clear: to impersonate a trusted software project and compromise user systems.

If you visited obsopenbroadcastersoftware.com, immediately disconnect from the network and run a full antivirus scan. Do not enter any login details or download files from the site. Verify any OBS downloads directly from the official site at obsproject.com. Report the domain to your security team or use tools like Google Safe Browsing to help block it. Stay alert for typosquatting in URLs and always validate sites via HTTPS and trusted domains before engaging.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260501-B1C297
Favicon MD5:       4db03308bfc7de5440824f9635859c5d

## 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.
