No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-21 08:13:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-21 05:22:49 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-16 11:16:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:10 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e48f1-bce0-744b-86b0-ca8517cd75e7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6111a0da-f6f8-49b0-82b1-3c972b9f8ece Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/auth-uphold-en.created.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.auth-uphold-en.created.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=auth-uphold-en.created.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/auth-uphold-en.created.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/auth-uphold-en.created.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 21:55:13 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain auth-uphold-en.created.app has been identified as a high-risk phishing site specifically designed to impersonate the Uphold cryptocurrency platform. Analysis confirms this is a fake login page intended to harvest user credentials, likely for subsequent unauthorized account access or financial theft. The domain is currently offline, but prior activity indicates active malicious intent. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was flagged by 13 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, a notably high detection rate for credential-theft operations. It was registered through Tucows Domains Inc and resolved to the IP address 216.150.1.193. The site appeared on three independent security blocklists and was proactively blocked by multiple browser-based security extensions. Technical indicators include the use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, deployment on Google Cloud infrastructure, and frontend technologies such as React and Next.js, which are commonly exploited in phishing campaigns to mimic legitimate interfaces. The Gridinsoft trust score for this domain was 0 out of 100, further confirming its malicious classification. While the domain is currently offline, users who may have interacted with it should assume credential compromise. Immediate password resets are recommended for any accounts accessed through this domain. Organizations should update blocklists to include auth-uphold-en.created.app and its associated IP, and monitor for related indicators of compromise. Given the use of cloud hosting and modern web frameworks, similar domains may emerge; vigilance for brand impersonation in newly registered domains is advised. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-7583FE Favicon MD5: 3c1378d54608925fe1dff523c02e4f7a TLS cert SHA-256: 927656e07b11c1b9142869c6a6c1996526993b64fd76d6b8ad10c405cebaa0f8 ## 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/auth-uphold-en.created.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=auth-uphold-en.created.app 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.
