No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2024-08-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-24 11:08:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-28 12:48:40 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f9361-920e-73c9-958e-43db1664a4f9/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-24 11:09:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io: Confirmed Phishing Site help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io was registered on August 02, 2024 through GoDaddy.com, LLC and is currently resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The domain is delegated to Cloudflare nameservers (justin.ns.cloudflare.com, val.ns.cloudflare.com), a configuration often observed in malicious infrastructure that seeks to hide origin and benefit from CDN edge distribution. VirusTotal has logged five positive detections out of ninety‑one scanning engines, indicating that multiple independent security products have flagged the host as malicious. The domain appears on at least one public blocklist; PhishDestroy actively blocks the host, confirming that community‑maintained threat feeds have observed abusive activity. No additional reputation data such as Google Safe Browsing, OTX, SSL certificate details, or HTTP status codes are present in the supplied intelligence, leaving the exact page content and targeted brand undefined. Nonetheless, the convergence of registration age, hosting choice, detection count, and blocklist presence supports a high confidence classification as a phishing site. Defenders should add the domain and its associated IP address to outbound filtering and DNS sinkhole policies, monitor for any new incidents referencing the same nameserver pair or hosting provider, and schedule periodic re‑scans on multi‑engine platforms to capture potential changes in detection status. Automated threat‑intel feeds should prioritize blocking help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io given its active status and elevated risk profile. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 0d3fb60340437536bbe06a463d19122c TLS cert SHA-256: 59a222852ce3809be7a95f266c727e1e3bb9c98fb9e7593c1ee92b4da9ea2f2a ## 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/help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=help-uphold-x-auth-us.tem3.io 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.
