This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-19 06:51:51 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-19 03:53:47 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-26 00:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-27 00:07:49 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e3e5b-2587-742b-b81c-ce41de97d018/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cf0275c4-e09b-4d5a-bd4c-aa9fd2993adb Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/arbiscan.click crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.arbiscan.click Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=arbiscan.click AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/arbiscan.click URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/arbiscan.click/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 18:26:59 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] arbiscan.click Fake Arbitrum Alert The domain arbiscan.click has been assessed as a high-risk brand impersonation threat targeting the Arbitrum brand. The domain is currently active and impersonates the official Arbitrum ecosystem by using a misleading page title: 'Arbitrum Ecosystem Reward | ARB Distribution Program.' Infrastructure analysis reveals that arbiscan.click was registered on May 11, 2026, through NAMECHEAP INC and resolves to the IP address 198.54.120.215, which is located in the United States and is associated with Namecheap, Inc. The domain is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Sectigo Limited under the Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV R36. Despite these security measures, the domain is flagged by 1 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a low level of trust. Additionally, the domain appears on two security blocklists, specifically PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, further highlighting its suspicious nature. Given the high risk level and specific threat type of brand impersonation, users are advised to exercise extreme caution when encountering this domain. Verification of URLs and domain names is crucial, especially when interacting with official Arbitrum resources. Users should also avoid clicking on links or entering personal information on any site that does not match the official Arbitrum domain. Security teams and network administrators should consider blocking this domain and similar impersonations to protect users from potential credential theft and financial loss. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260519-113108 TLS cert SHA-256: e05db7cec6ee675beaecd9880e61848e0de1a17763ebe32cd23946a5784913a1 ## 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/arbiscan.click/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arbiscan.click 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.
