Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified arc-gc-ca.com as an elevated-risk brand impersonation attack targeting users of the Government of Canada. This domain actively attempts to deceive individuals into believing it is a legitimate Canadian government resource. Analysis of arc-gc-ca.com reveals several indicators of malicious intent. VirusTotal reports that 2/95 security vendors have flagged this domain as suspicious. The domain, registered through Fewmoretaps OU d/b/a Trustname.com, was created on March 17, 2026. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. These factors, combined with the domain name's attempt to mimic an official government website, heighten the risk. Users should exercise extreme caution when encountering arc-gc-ca.com. Do not enter any personal information or credentials on this website. Verify the authenticity of any communication purportedly originating from the Government of Canada through official channels. Report this domain to your email provider and security software vendor to help protect others from this brand impersonation attack. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260428-6ADE10 TLS cert SHA-256: 5a912876316eb89c5cdc82b379aca565021a97e797e3ba2ead9998ff93afed6e ## 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-gc-ca.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arc-gc-ca.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
