# PhishDestroy threat dossier — studio3-st3.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-27 19:21:20 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/studio3-st3.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 9/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Cluster25, CRDF, MalwareURL, SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections AlienVault OTX: 2 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 173.201.191.4 (US, Phoenix) ASN: ASAS26496 AS-26496-GO-DADDY-COM-LLC - GoDaddy.com, LLC, US Hosting org: AS26496 GoDaddy.com, LLC Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ns29.domaincontrol.com, ns30.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2020-12-11 Expires: 2026-12-11 Page title: Adobe Acrobat Sign - Secure Document Access ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: GoDaddy.com, Inc. / Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2 Expires: 2027-01-31 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: f4572c41f0b0123a0c2c082a3ea8519466d76718c59acbe1ebcff2c444a67020 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.studio3-st3.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: 2020-12-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-15 14:13:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 17:40:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-16 00:40:13 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ecb32-82ca-7799-af24-2d1e2f68aca5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ab0d405b-61a5-477e-b62d-699bcae4dd18 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/studio3-st3.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.studio3-st3.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=studio3-st3.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/studio3-st3.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/studio3-st3.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 17:29:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, studio3-st3.com, poses as Adobe Acrobat Sign to deceive users into entering login credentials or other sensitive information. The site displays a fraudulent page titled 'Adobe Acrobat Sign - Secure Document Access,' mimicking the legitimate Adobe service to trick victims into disclosing account details. Credential theft of this nature can lead to unauthorized access to personal or corporate data, financial fraud, or further targeted attacks. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on December 11, 2020, through GoDaddy.com, LLC, and currently resolves to the IP address 173.201.191.4, hosted under AS26496. Security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain at a rate of 9 out of 95, and it appears on one security blocklist. The SSL certificate is issued by GoDaddy.com, Inc., which does not mitigate the malicious intent of the site. Infrastructure details, including the domain's age and hosting provider, align with patterns observed in long-term phishing campaigns. If a user has visited studio3-st3.com or entered credentials on the site, immediate action is required. First, reset passwords for any accounts accessed or entered on the site, prioritizing those linked to financial or sensitive data. Enable multi-factor authentication where available. Scan the device used to access the domain for malware or unauthorized access. Monitor accounts for unusual activity, such as unauthorized logins or transactions. Report the incident to relevant security teams or platforms to aid in mitigation efforts and prevent further exploitation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-8EDF62 Favicon MD5: bd8f64043432f6f433bc8732068ad7e1 TLS cert SHA-256: f4572c41f0b0123a0c2c082a3ea8519466d76718c59acbe1ebcff2c444a67020 ## 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/studio3-st3.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=studio3-st3.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.
