No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-05 15:52:11 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-05 20:20:35 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f328c-1d5d-7140-b5b9-a5e033ee5df4/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/app-arcus.org crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.app-arcus.org Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=app-arcus.org AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/app-arcus.org URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/app-arcus.org/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-05 15:55:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain app-arcus.org is classified as a high-risk threat pertaining to credential theft. This indicates a significant potential for misuse and user exploitation, particularly in the context of cryptocurrency transactions. The domain is currently active, registered through OwnRegistrar, Inc. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.223.243. The domain was created on July 03, 2026, and has been assessed by VirusTotal, where it received a flag from only 1 out of 95 security vendors. This low detection rate may suggest that it is newly deployed or that its malicious intent has not yet been widely recognized. The site is served with an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services, which may lend it a false sense of legitimacy. To mitigate risks associated with this type of threat, users should avoid interacting with apps or websites linked to app-arcus.org, particularly when prompted for sensitive information. Organizations should implement DNS filtering to block access to known malicious domains and should educate users about the dangers of credential theft, especially in cryptocurrency contexts. Regular monitoring of network traffic for any signs of unusual activity related to this domain is also advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 7c6a28d9cb370cbcff5812c34dc70625617dff63a6cd1452a51af04d8ca18af5 ## 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/app-arcus.org/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app-arcus.org 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.
