Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies arbitrvm.dev as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information. Phishing sites like this pose serious risks, including identity theft, financial loss, and compromised personal data. Users should exercise caution when encountering unfamiliar or suspicious domains, especially those flagged by multiple security services. This phishing operation was registered as a dead domain and appeared on seven security blocklists, indicating widespread recognition of its malicious intent. The domain was created recently and quickly flagged by 15 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors for suspicious activity. Typically, such phishing domains mimic legitimate services to trick users into entering credentials or personal details. Despite now being taken offline, its prior activity underscores the importance of vigilance. If you have visited arbitrvm.dev, it is crucial to immediately change any passwords possibly entered on the site and monitor your financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Running a comprehensive malware scan on your device is also recommended to ensure no malicious software was installed. Staying informed through resources like PhishDestroy can help users avoid falling victim to similar threats in the future. ## 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/arbitrvm.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arbitrvm.dev 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.
