These signatures matched text in the page. Pages that quote or document malware can match them, so on their own they do not make a page malicious.
Why this verdict
- Valid TLS, no impersonation or off-origin credential post
- A signature matched text in the page (Js.Trojan.Obfus-633) — pages that discuss malware can match, so this alone is not a malicious verdict

Questions about calwatchdog.com
- Is calwatchdog.com safe?
- The scan of calwatchdog.com on 20 Aug 2026 reached no verdict either way (score 0). Too little was captured to judge it, which is an unknown rather than a pass.
- What malware is associated with calwatchdog.com?
- 1 analysed samples communicate with this URL, including Obfus.
- How was calwatchdog.com checked?
- A static pass resolved DNS, captured TLS and headers and followed the redirect chain, and where the fast tier allows, a headless browser rendered the page and recorded every request. Egress is SSRF-locked. Signatures that matched only page text are weighted far below one that matched a served file, because a page documenting malware matches the same rules.
