# PhishDestroy threat dossier — io-uphold-en.square.site ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-25 18:04:35 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/io-uphold-en.square.site/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 96/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: cryptocurrency Targeted brand: Uphold ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 18/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, Ermes, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, Lionic, Netcraft, Sophos, Trustwave, VIPRE, Webroot URLQuery: 100 detections Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist Victim re-reports (public form): 1 ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 74.115.51.5 (US, Oakland) ASN: ASAS27647 Weebly, Inc. Hosting org: AS27647 Weebly, Inc. Registrar: MarkMonitor, Inc. Nameservers: ["ns-810.awsdns-37.net", "ns-1816.awsdns-35.co.uk", "ns-311.awsdns-38.com", "ns-1248.awsdns-28.org"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Expires: 2031-02-05 Page title: Uphold Login Guide | Access Your Digital Wallet Securely HTTP response: 404 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E7 Expires: 2026-06-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b069a0fab12eeca7d9447957b5778669f0c466c8257d144a5b8fbbb195919cc4 Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - square.site ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-02-16 16:34:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-25 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-01 04:08:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) 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/019c66a7-ae4c-7195-982d-b2c09e80a246/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/io-uphold-en.square.site crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.io-uphold-en.square.site Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=io-uphold-en.square.site AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/io-uphold-en.square.site URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/io-uphold-en.square.site/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 13:17:38 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, io-uphold-en.square.site, impersonates the Uphold brand and is categorized as a cryptocurrency scam. The page title, "Uphold Login Guide | Access Your Digital Wallet Securely," indicates the site was designed to deceive users into providing login credentials for a digital wallet. The threat is credential theft targeting cryptocurrency holders. Technical evidence shows 18 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors flagged the domain as malicious. It was flagged by ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, and Ermes. The domain is registered with MarkMonitor, Inc., and was created on 2026-02-21. The IP address is 74.115.51.5, located in the US, and hosted on AS27647 Weebly, Inc. The SSL certificate is from Let's Encrypt (E7). Nameservers include ns-810.awsdns-37.net, ns-1816.awsdns-35.co.uk, ns-311.awsdns-38.com, and one additional. The site is currently down or offline. Based on the high detection rate, brand impersonation, and scam type, the risk level is high for any users who may have encountered the site before it went offline. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 00c629ac07a53a8dd92ace0c212743ef17337c75436767830a81b66c246e3074 TLS cert SHA-256: b069a0fab12eeca7d9447957b5778669f0c466c8257d144a5b8fbbb195919cc4 ## 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 (volunteer 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/io-uphold-en.square.site/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=io-uphold-en.square.site 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
