arvax.xyz — Phishing Investigation Report

The domain arvax.xyz was registered on May 04, 2026 through NameCheap, Inc. It resolves to the IPv4 address 188.114.96.3 and is served by Cloudflare name servers candy.ns.cloudflare.com and giancarlo.ns.cloudflare.com. The domain appears in five AlienVault OTX threat‑intelligence pulses, indicating prior attribution to phishing activity. VirusTotal analysis shows that 19 of 91 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious, reinforcing the suspicion. The threat type is catalogued as generic_phishing and the risk level is high; the campaign remains active as of the report date. No additional infrastructure such as extra IPs, hosting ASN, or content snapshots are publicly available, so the exact payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms cannot be confirmed. Defenders should block resolution to 188.114.96.3, add arvax.xyz to deny‑list entries, monitor for DNS queries to the listed Cloudflare name servers, and consider broader IoC sharing with partners. Continued observation of OTX pulses and periodic VirusTotal rescans are recommended to capture any changes in detection coverage.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260718-F9FF09
Favicon MD5:       b55ad3f0c0a029568074402ce92aca23
TLS cert SHA-256:      686786ba26b76c037c615a4ab66be29aab4c4e7d6cacaea1e6b720b86f991619

## 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 (operator 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.
