# PhishDestroy threat dossier — arcoin.global ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 06:55:58 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/arcoin.global/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- STATUS STALE — last probed 23 days ago, treat as ACTIVE until re-verified Composite threat score: 83/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: aave (and: across, ankr, google, near) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/95 security vendors flagged this domain Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.80.1 (US, San Francisco) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET, US Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NameSilo, LLC !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NameSilo !!! NameSilo is a registrar documented by PhishDestroy as (1) publicly lying about received abuse reports, (2) shielding a $20M+ Monero-theft operation (xmrwallet.com) for 10 continuous years, and (3) retaliating against PhishDestroy by getting our X/Twitter account @Phish_Destroy banned after we published the evidence. Researchers/victims must ALWAYS CC compliance@icann.org on every abuse ticket — NameSilo has a track record of later claiming reports were never received.

No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-06-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-09-20 23:10:24 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-03-31 00:47:37 UTC (STALE — 23 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-15 06:12:04 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 23 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 23 days stale) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01986002-2240-749a-9cca-834ceee3fe21/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/arcoin.global crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.arcoin.global Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=arcoin.global AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/arcoin.global URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/arcoin.global/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-24 00:35:37 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies arcoin.global as a low-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the Aave platform. The threat level is considered low due to limited malicious activity and the domain's offline status. Supporting evidence includes the domain’s creation date of June 19, 2025, registration via NameSilo, LLC, and its resolution to IP 104.21.80.1. While only 1 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors flagged it, the domain appears on three security blocklists and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100, indicating suspicion. The page title "ArCoin - Trading Hub" suggests an attempt to mimic cryptocurrency trading services. Currently, arcoin.global is offline, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding this domain and verifying URLs before accessing cryptocurrency-related platforms. Users should rely on official sources and keep security software updated to mitigate risks from similar brand impersonation attempts. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: ef614481cfed319bbc6bf0516a107c6f8e3b37e410916cdbbd8db1f90cb485b3 TLS cert SHA-256: 47ab77594e1743d521b670979c6164f2fde847d79482180ce76407b93e60de9c ## 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/arcoin.global/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arcoin.global 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.
