No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-26 14:58:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-31 12:20:32 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f9e99-839b-71f9-89d1-aeb2a85402c3/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/arbitrage-work.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.arbitrage-work.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=arbitrage-work.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/arbitrage-work.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/arbitrage-work.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-26 15:03:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] arbitrage-work.com Safety Check — Phishing Campaign Detected The domain arbitrage-work.com was registered on July 21 2026 through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and is currently resolvable via Cloudflare nameservers abby.ns.cloudflare.com and theo.ns.cloudflare.com to IP 172.67.157.145. The SSL certificate presented is issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, indicating that HTTPS connections are cryptographically valid but does not imply legitimacy. Independent threat‑intel feeds have flagged the domain as a phishing vector; PhishDestroy has placed it on its blocklist and the domain appears on one additional security blocklist. VirusTotal reports that three of ninety‑one scanning engines have identified malicious behavior associated with the domain, confirming a non‑zero detection rate. The short lifespan—just five days from registration to the current report date of July 26 2026—combined with the rapid appearance on blocklists suggests an opportunistic campaign launched to exploit current events or financial trends. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain is hosted on Cloudflare’s edge network, a common choice for fast‑deployment phishing sites because it masks the origin server and provides automatic TLS. No public page title, brand targeting, or specific phishing kit information has been disclosed, leaving the exact content and victim lure unknown. Defenders should immediately add arbitrage-work.com and its associated IP address 172.67.157.145 to outbound and inbound deny lists, enforce URL filtering for HTTPS destinations, and monitor DNS queries for the Cloudflare nameservers used. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain with sandbox and URL reputation services is advised, as the site may evolve or host additional payloads. Organizations that employ email filtering should treat any communication referencing “arbitrage‑work” as malicious until further verification. The current evidence base warrants a high risk rating and active mitigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 1f1d0ce8050f85993364955f42c14670ecb6eb2255849e96ecaf10512a07ea92 ## 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/arbitrage-work.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arbitrage-work.com 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.
