No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-07-19 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-27 09:48:40 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-27 12:58:37 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019fa322-03b3-752a-a29d-cd6ca869e8c9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/verification.waitlist-arcus.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.verification.waitlist-arcus.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=verification.waitlist-arcus.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/verification.waitlist-arcus.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/verification.waitlist-arcus.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-27 09:51:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] verification.waitlist-arcus.com – Generic Phishing Detected Analysis of verification.waitlist-arcus.com shows a newly registered domain (creation date July 19 2026) owned by NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain is hosted on Cloudflare, as indicated by its authoritative nameservers bayan.ns.cloudflare.com and gigi.ns.cloudflare.com, and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. VirusTotal has recorded a single positive detection out of 91 scanners, confirming that at least one security vendor classifies the domain as malicious. The domain appears on two independent phishing blocklists, PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, which further corroborates its malicious intent. No additional intelligence such as Safe Browsing verdicts, OTX references, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, or page titles is currently available. Given the registration timestamp, the use of reputable DNS infrastructure, and the presence on multiple blocklists, the threat is considered high. Defenders should block any outbound or inbound traffic to 188.114.97.3 and add verification.waitlist-arcus.com to local deny lists. Email security gateways should be updated to flag messages containing URLs that resolve to this domain. Continuous monitoring of Cloudflare DNS records is advised, as the attacker may shift the underlying IP while retaining the same domain. Because the site has not been publicly analyzed, analysts should treat any content retrieved from the domain as potentially malicious and avoid interaction. Incident response teams should also consider correlating internal logs for recent connections to the domain or its IP address, especially from users who received unsolicited communications around the domain’s creation date. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 1846be522874b3d8317c1ca06a66a270dd431f7bad2583eb3b81a84b7e0e943c ## 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/verification.waitlist-arcus.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=verification.waitlist-arcus.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.
