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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-22 01:41:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01988fa4-704a-730e-809c-fcbd0ca40807/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/arbitrax.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.arbitrax.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=arbitrax.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/arbitrax.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/arbitrax.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-03 16:06:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified the domain arbitrax.io as an active phishing threat targeting unsuspecting users. This generic phishing domain poses a medium risk by attempting to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, which can lead to financial loss or identity theft. Awareness of such threats is critical to maintaining cybersecurity hygiene and preventing exploitation. The domain arbitrax.io was registered recently, on February 21, 2026, indicating it is a newly emerged threat actor. It currently appears on two security blocklists, and three out of ninety-five security vendors have flagged it on VirusTotal, underscoring its malicious intent. The domain infrastructure suggests it is in active use, reinforcing the need for vigilance when encountering this domain in emails or web links. Users are advised to exercise caution by avoiding interaction with arbitrax.io and any unsolicited communications referencing it. Employing updated antivirus software, enabling multi-factor authentication, and verifying URLs before clicking can mitigate the risk. PhishDestroy encourages individuals and organizations to report suspicious activity involving this domain to help contain its impact. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bc6e7a9f1c26caacde39642459e56f9f ## 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 (volunteer 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/arbitrax.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arbitrax.io 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
