## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 16:11:20 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies arbitrumswap.com as an active brand impersonation scam targeting Arbitrum users. The domain is currently live and configured to deceive visitors through false association with the legitimate Arbitrum brand.

This domain was flagged by 7 of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on March 26, 2026, and resolves to IP address 193.124.66.173. It uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate and has no established trust indicators in public blocklists or reputation databases.

Given the elevated risk level and confirmed impersonation intent, users should immediately block access to arbitrumswap.com and avoid interacting with any content on the site. Security teams are advised to add this domain and associated IP to network blocklists and monitor for related phishing campaigns. The domain's recent creation date and low detection rate suggest it may be part of a fast-evolving threat campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-892B88

## 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.
