Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] reward-arkdefai.com: Confirmed Phishing Site The domain reward-arkdefai.com was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and created on July 15, 2026. DNS resolution points to the IP address 188.114.97.3, which is served by Cloudflare as indicated by the authoritative nameservers gail.ns.cloudflare.com and sean.ns.cloudflare.com. Threat intelligence from PhishDestroy has already added the domain to its blocklist, and it currently appears on one additional security blocklist. VirusTotal analysis shows that two out of ninety-one scanning engines have flagged the domain as malicious, providing early corroboration of its hostile intent. The domain remains active as of the report date, July 20, 2026, and no public evidence of remediation or takedown has been observed. While the limited detection count suggests a relatively new campaign, the presence of multiple independent security signals—registrar data, IP hosting, blocklist inclusion, and vendor detections—confirms a high‑risk profile consistent with generic phishing activity. Uncertainty remains regarding the specific payload or credential‑harvesting mechanisms employed, as no page title, SSL certificate details, or HTTP response codes have been disclosed. Defenders should immediately block reward-arkdefai.com at perimeter firewalls, DNS resolvers, and endpoint web filters. Security operations teams are advised to monitor for outbound connections to 188.114.97.3, enforce multi‑factor authentication for accounts that may be targeted, and update incident response playbooks to include this indicator of compromise. Continuous re‑evaluation of the domain’s status on VirusTotal and additional blocklists is recommended to capture any escalation in detection confidence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: f5168addb165e3fab44e26c85343908e TLS cert SHA-256: 62bbd7e145ac1c5c59e2fc9e8bf363124b11115788356dd0c8049d5c3dde010b ## 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/reward-arkdefai.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=reward-arkdefai.com 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.
