Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain docupdate.help has been identified as a credential phishing site, which targets users by attempting to capture their login credentials. The analysis indicates that this domain may impersonate legitimate services to lure users into providing sensitive information, although no specific brand has been associated with this threat at this time. There is no notable indication of a drainer kit being utilized in this campaign. Technical indicators reveal that the VirusTotal detection count stands at 0/95, indicating that the domain has not yet been flagged by any security vendors. The domain was registered with NAMECHEAP INC, and it resolves to IP address 162.255.119.196. Furthermore, the domain was created on June 30, 2026, which raises concerns regarding its longevity in the phishing landscape. At present, there is no status listed on Google Safe Browsing (GSB), and the domain has not been found on any major blocklists. The current status of the domain is active. As it remains under investigation, there is an ongoing risk associated with this domain, particularly as it has yet to be detected by cybersecurity solutions. Users are advised to exercise caution and refrain from interacting with this domain or any communications associated with it, as there is a significant potential for credential theft. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 2/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-68F81E ## 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/docupdate.help/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=docupdate.help 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.
