Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies exhubj.net as a medium-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Arbitrum, a well-known blockchain platform. The site presented itself as a cryptocurrency exchange service under the title "ExHub.io - обменник криптовалют," aiming to mislead users into trusting a fraudulent platform. This impersonation attempts to exploit Arbitrum's reputation to deceive victims into potentially compromising their crypto assets or personal data. Technically, exhubj.net was registered on May 11, 2025, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and resolved to the IP address 172.67.134.8. The domain appears on at least one security blocklist, and its trustworthiness is extremely low, with a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 out of 100. VirusTotal flagged this domain by five out of ninety-five security vendors, indicating some detection but not widespread consensus. The domain's infrastructure and registration details suggest a typical setup for phishing or scam sites aiming to impersonate legitimate crypto services. Currently, exhubj.net is offline, which prevents further active attacks from this domain. However, users should remain cautious of any similar domains or variants that might emerge. It is strongly recommended to verify site authenticity before engaging with crypto exchange platforms, especially when prompted for sensitive information or funds. Avoid clicking on suspicious links and rely on official Arbitrum channels and trusted sources to reduce the risk of falling victim to such scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 85bbd48b033402b769c2ac8c6029f991 TLS cert SHA-256: 41957c3f286d113e7b79eac6c2640bc7a76c73e9955b84c5e8c2c64581144c16 ## 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/exhubj.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=exhubj.net 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.
