Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] playgroundbridge.app – Generic Phishing Bridge Scam Analysis on the domain playgroundbridge.app, created on 21 July 2026, indicates an active generic phishing infrastructure targeting users of the Arc blockchain ecosystem. The registrar listed is NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and the domain resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure as evidenced by the authoritative nameservers frida.ns.cloudflare.com and johnny.ns.cloudflare.com. TLS termination is provided by a Google Trust Services certificate issued to WE1, confirming that the connection is encrypted but offering no validation of the site's legitimacy. The page title returned by the web server, “Arc Mainnet Bridge | Bridge USDC to Arc Blockchain — PlaygroundBridge,” suggests an attempt to lure victims into transferring USDC tokens, although the actual page content has not been examined. The domain is currently listed on a single security blocklist and has been flagged by the PhishDestroy service. VirusTotal has recorded scans from 91 vendors, none of which have raised a detection at the time of analysis; this absence should not be interpreted as an indication of safety. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing alerts, OTX mentions, or other community reports is available, leaving the broader threat landscape around this domain uncertain. Defenders should treat playgroundbridge.app as a high‑confidence phishing indicator. Immediate mitigation steps include adding the domain to outbound and inbound filtering rules, monitoring DNS queries for the associated IP address, and reviewing any recent user activity involving Arc blockchain bridges or USDC transfers. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as future scans or community reports may provide further insight into the campaign’s scale and tactics. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260726-A0CC2C Favicon MD5: f107a2d63e88f14f62e4c7ee00a83451 TLS cert SHA-256: 8f8fae85417e5aa5877aded86ee2a25f821b08b06c2c14fc11ce132e0f1c9962 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/playgroundbridge.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=playgroundbridge.app 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
