Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain studioobs.com was registered through TUCOWS.COM, CO on 2026-01-03 and is currently active. DNS resolution points to the IP address 91.188.254.36, which is hosted in Lithuania by the Space Hosting provider. The authoritative nameservers are emily.ns.cloudflare.com and yew.ns.cloudflare.com, indicating the use of Cloudflare’s DNS infrastructure. The site presents a page titled "OBS Studio Free Download - Screen Recording & Streaming" and serves content over HTTPS using a Let’s Encrypt certificate (YR1). Server headers reveal Nginx as the web server, HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is enabled, and Google Analytics scripts are present. The domain appears on three public blocklists and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL blocklist services. AlienVault OTX has associated the domain with eight threat intelligence pulses. VirusTotal analysis shows that 19 of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain, indicating a notable detection rate. While the specific payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms have not been publicly disclosed, the combination of blocklist listings, multiple security vendor detections, and the phishing‑related page title strongly suggests that the domain is being used for a generic phishing campaign targeting users seeking OBS Studio software. Defenders should block network resolution to 91.188.254.36, add studioobs.com to URL filtering policies, monitor for related traffic patterns, and advise users to avoid downloading software from this domain. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s reputation and any changes in its hosting or certificate details is recommended. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-63218C Favicon MD5: b94d6132c6043d3476a8983b6b17e1bb TLS cert SHA-256: 44a7d97adcea135c760beabe0cef5704428a8b386e221e6ebb73edabe0783a72 ## 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 (operator 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/studioobs.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=studioobs.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
