Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis identifies arc-forum.pages.dev as a high-risk generic phishing domain that is currently active. The page title, “Arc Forum -- On Arc Network,” suggests an attempt to present itself as a legitimate forum or network-related service, creating a plausible lure for users seeking account access, community interaction, or service information. In operational terms, the primary risk is credential harvesting and user redirection into fraudulent login or transaction flows. Given the active status and phishing classification, the domain should be treated as malicious infrastructure rather than a benign misconfiguration or low-confidence false positive. Infrastructure analysis shows multiple concrete indicators consistent with phishing deployment. The domain is present on 3 security blocklists and is also flagged by 7 of 95 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating non-trivial detection coverage across independent engines. Safe browsing telemetry classifies it as phishing, which materially raises confidence in the assessment. The domain was created on June 09, 2026, a recent registration date that aligns with short-lived abuse patterns commonly seen in credential theft campaigns. Registration is through Cloudflare, Inc., and the hostname resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 within AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc., US-based infrastructure. The observed TLS certificate is issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, which indicates the site is using standard HTTPS delivery but does not provide legitimacy. Additional blocking by PhishDestroy, MetaMask, and SEAL further supports the conclusion that the domain has already been associated with malicious behavior. At the time of review, the domain remains active and should be considered an immediate exposure risk to end users and enterprise environments. Defensive action should include blocking the domain and resolved IP at DNS, web proxy, email, and endpoint security layers where appropriate, while recognizing that shared hosting or CDN-backed infrastructure can limit the usefulness of IP-only blocking. Any user who interacted with the site should be instructed to reset potentially exposed credentials, review account activity, rotate session tokens where possible, and monitor for follow-on fraud. Security teams should preserve indicators including the domain, IP 188.114.96.3, page title, creation date, and certificate metadata for correlation against email lures, browser telemetry, and authentication logs. Continued monitoring is recommended because recently created phishing domains can change content rapidly, rotate paths, or be reused in adjacent impersonation campaigns. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 88feb3485a3907c77029bc64de9bb225c06b85b0510e54e2ddb5e99af4247641 ## 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/arc-forum.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arc-forum.pages.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.
