If you look at the Basic Rules source on DDB you can find it because it includes the SRD. But yeah, it shouldn’t list the PHB because it isn’t in that book.
Can you share where you are finding it there? I know the Basic Rules are supposed to include it.. but part of what I am reporting is that it is not there either. The only way to find it on the site is to search, and that result incorrectly cites the Basic Rules as the source. When you link to it from a character sheet, it further incorrectly cites the PHB. There are two problems.
You are correct, it is not listed in the source itself, that was probably an oversight. Here is a list of all of the spells that DDB lists under “Basic Rules” but should more accurately be labeled “Basic Rules & SRD.” You can see for yourself simply by clicking/tapping SHOW ADVANCED FILTERS
Minor linking issue.
DDB combines the Basic Rules and SRD together. Arcane Hand is simply the non-trademarked version of Bigby’s Hand, which is PHB.

Understood. The tags are incorrect still. In two locations it represents places you cannot find the spell under "sources".
