Brand impersonation — not the real site
Domain was registered only 0 days ago — brand-new sites are higher-risk by default. This page is styled as a brand but is not the brand's real site. Go to the official site directly, and treat any download, login, or payment request here as unsafe.
Is arbicsan.github.io legit or a scam?
Fake Arbiscan clone hosted on GitHub Pages using a brand-new typosquatted domain to impersonate the real Arbitrum explorer.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.
Analysis Summary
MT Intelligence
The page presents itself as Arbiscan, the official explorer for the Arbitrum network, with identical title and description to the real arbiscan.io. The domain arbicsan.github.io was registered only 0 days ago and shows clear typosquatting of the legitimate site. Our fingerprinting confirms it as a clone with multiple matching signals including contactless crypto content and new-domain patterns typical of drainer operations. The single antivirus flag from ChainPatrol aligns with the impersonation risk, while the hosting IP carries a moderate abuse history. Visual rendering matches the real explorer exactly, which is expected for a clone designed to harvest credentials or drain wallets.

- Do not interact with arbicsan.github.io
Do not enter credentials, deposit money, download files, or install browser extensions from this site.
