studio--solana-edge[.]us-central1[.]hosted[.]app

The domain studio--solana-edge.us-central1.hosted.app was observed resolving to the IPv4 address 35.219.200.19, which is allocated to Google LLC (AS19527) and geolocated in South Korea. The TLS certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WR3 intermediate, indicating use of Google’s managed SSL infrastructure. DNS resolution is handled by three Google Cloud name servers (ns-cloud-b1.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-b2.googledomains.com, ns-cloud-b3.googledomains.com). Service fingerprinting identified Envoy as a reverse‑proxy, Google Cloud as the hosting platform, Google Cloud CDN for content delivery, and HTTP/3 support, all consistent with a Google Cloud‑hosted site.

The site’s HTTP response returned a 404 status code, and the only visible page title was "Oracle Nova," which does not reference the targeted brand. The domain is registered through MarkMonitor Inc., a registrar commonly used for brand‑protected domains, and it was explicitly flagged as impersonating Solana. VirusTotal analysis recorded a single positive detection out of 95 scanners, and the domain appears on one external blocklist. PhishDestroy has also taken the domain offline.

Current evidence points to a crypto‑focused impersonation campaign leveraging the Solana brand, though the exact malicious payload or credential‑harvesting mechanism remains unverified because the site is no longer reachable. Defenders should add the domain and its associated IP address to outbound and inbound blocklists, monitor the listed name servers for any re‑registration attempts, and enforce URL filtering for any URLs containing the "studio--solana-edge" pattern. Continuous vigilance on Google Cloud‑based hosting assets is recommended, as adversaries may replicate this infrastructure for future impersonation attempts.
