Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, docupdate.work, is identified as a credential phishing infrastructure targeting users through deceptive login portals. Analysis indicates no direct association with a specific brand or drainer kit, but the domain is structured to mimic legitimate document or account update services. The intent is to harvest credentials, likely for unauthorized account access or follow-on attacks such as financial fraud or identity theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 192.64.119.43 and was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on June 30, 2026. VirusTotal detection shows 1 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The creation date suggests recent registration, a common tactic to evade reputation-based defenses. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) listing or additional blocklist data is currently available, though the domain remains under active monitoring. The domain is currently active and operational, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation at this time. Users are advised to avoid interacting with docupdate.work, particularly entering credentials or downloading files. Organizations should block the domain and associated IP at the network level and monitor for related phishing attempts. Despite low initial detection, the domain’s infrastructure and registration patterns align with known credential theft campaigns, warranting continued high-risk classification. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-AA856E ## 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.work/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=docupdate.work 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.
