## 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

Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:59:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain was assessed as high risk due to its clear brand impersonation of Uphold, specifically designed for credential theft. The threat type is not generic phishing but a targeted attempt to steal login credentials by mimicking the legitimate Uphold authentication page. Users encountering this site face a significant risk of account compromise.

The technical indicators are alarming: VirusTotal flagged this domain with 9 out of 95 security vendors marking it malicious. The domain was created on May 13, 2026, and resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, hosted by Cloudflare (Google Trust Services SSL). It appears on 3 security blocklists and is flagged by Google Safe Browsing as phishing. These data points collectively confirm the malicious intent and active targeting of Uphold users.

To protect against this credential theft attack, users should never enter login credentials on any site reached via unsolicited links or emails. Always verify the URL directly by typing the official Uphold domain (uphold.com) into the browser. Enable two-factor authentication on your Uphold account and report any suspicious login attempts. If you have already entered credentials on this domain, change your passwords immediately and contact Uphold support.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       0d3fb60340437536bbe06a463d19122c
TLS cert SHA-256:      e9cc64b6804aa3b4014ce89a7b031325c3940b922ca7574183cd6d5c484e6ef6

## 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.
