Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, tubematee.download, is flagged as a generic phishing site targeting users seeking YouTube video download utilities. Analysis indicates it does not impersonate a specific brand but mimics the functionality of legitimate tools like Tubemate to distribute malicious payloads or harvest credentials. The domain remains under investigation for its exact threat vector, which may include fake software downloads, credential theft, or malware distribution. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 27, 2025, through DYNADOT LLC, a registrar frequently associated with newly observed phishing infrastructure. It currently resolves to the IP address 172.67.156.53, which has not been flagged in public blocklists at the time of this report. VirusTotal scans show 0 detections out of 95 vendors, indicating the domain has not yet been widely recognized as malicious. Passive DNS records and historical WHOIS data do not reveal prior malicious activity linked to this infrastructure, suggesting this may be a newly deployed campaign. The domain remains active and unblocked across major security platforms. Organizations are advised to monitor network traffic for connections to tubematee.download and its resolving IP, 172.67.156.53. Endpoint detection rules should be updated to flag any downloads or redirects originating from this domain. Users should be cautioned against downloading software from unofficial sources, particularly those mimicking popular tools. Security teams are encouraged to submit samples of any payloads or landing pages associated with this domain to threat intelligence platforms for further analysis and community protection. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: cf9c9d80929e273544a99fdcd36127cc TLS cert SHA-256: 7ea6671de71a2cdddd92ab287702681067e21bd5dcabd28cc5b13814e8291817 ## 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/tubematee.download/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=tubematee.download 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.
