No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-25 12:37:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-25 15:00:15 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc3ff-ad63-72c3-8aad-c252c9eac8c8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-25 12:39:03 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev is a recently activated phishing page disguised as a cryptocurrency exchange. Criminals are using the domain to trick visitors into entering wallet credentials or payment details under the false promise of token sales or account access. Because the page is served over HTTPS with a Google Trust Services certificate and resolves to Cloudflare IP 172.66.47.57, it can appear legitimate at first glance. Anyone who lands on this site may be prompted to connect a wallet or provide seed phrases, which are then harvested for theft of digital assets. PhishDestroy’s analysis shows this domain was registered through Cloudflare and is currently detected by 0 out of 95 VirusTotal scanners, indicating it remains under the radar of most antivirus engines. The SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services adds a veneer of authenticity, while the use of Cloudflare Pages hosting allows rapid deployment and evasion of takedown efforts. The domain resolves to IP 172.66.47.57, a Cloudflare edge node commonly used to front malicious content while hiding the true origin server. If you visited arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev, do not enter any passwords, wallet addresses, or private keys. Disconnect your wallet immediately, revoke any connected permissions via your wallet’s security settings, and scan your device with reputable antivirus software. Report the domain to your wallet provider and to PhishDestroy’s threat feed using the unique seed 326d5b. Avoid clicking any links from unsolicited emails or social media messages that point to this domain, as they are likely part of a broader credential-harvesting campaign targeting crypto users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: ae91b925f70c9d528c5ffe4749b045a9d28dc9db88364cc88271504106f399b6 ## 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/arkexexchange-en-us.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=arkexexchange-en-us.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.
