Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, staking-arcium.xyz, operates as a crypto staking phishing drain site designed to harvest wallet credentials and drain cryptocurrency assets from victims. The site mimics legitimate staking platforms, presenting users with fake staking interfaces that prompt connection of crypto wallets. Once connected, malicious scripts automatically execute unauthorized transactions, transferring funds to attacker-controlled addresses without user consent. The domain specifically targets users of Arcium and other Solana-based staking services, exploiting the growing interest in decentralized finance and yield farming to maximize victim engagement. Analysis indicates the domain was registered on July 9, 2026, through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com, a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. As of the latest scan, only 3 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious, suggesting low initial detection rates that increase the risk of successful compromise. The domain currently resolves to IP address 172.67.161.4, which belongs to a content delivery network known for hosting both legitimate and malicious content. No blocklist entries were identified at the time of analysis, further reducing visibility and increasing the potential for undetected exploitation. Users who have visited staking-arcium.xyz or connected a wallet to the site should immediately revoke all connected site permissions from their crypto wallets. All assets should be transferred to a new, secure wallet, and any devices used to access the site should undergo a full malware scan. Monitor transaction histories for unauthorized transfers and report any suspicious activity to relevant blockchain explorers and security teams. Given the domain's active status and low detection rate, organizations should proactively block the domain and IP at the network level to prevent further exposure.

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/staking-arcium.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=staking-arcium.xyz 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.
