No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-21 08:09:45 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-21 05:16:45 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:10 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019e48ef-ba86-7058-a694-83a8883d9b12/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a45b5b53-97be-4155-8b36-2709c1168157 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:53:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app, has been assessed with an elevated risk level due to its classification as a generic phishing site specifically designed to mimic the Uphold login page. PhishDestroy identified this threat through analysis of its page title, which explicitly reads 'Uphold Login | Secure Access to Your Uphold Account,' and its status as a confirmed phishing domain. The site is now offline, but its previous activity posed a direct risk to Uphold users seeking secure access to their accounts. Technical indicators provide a clear picture of the threat. VirusTotal flagged the domain with 1 out of 95 security vendors marking it as malicious, and it appears on three security blocklists. The domain resolves to IP address 216.150.1.129 and was registered through Tucows Domains Inc. Its SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt (R13), a common choice for fraudulent sites seeking to appear legitimate. The combination of these factors underscores the domain's intent to deceive users into entering sensitive credentials. For those who may have interacted with this phishing site, immediate action is critical. Users should change their Uphold passwords and enable two-factor authentication if not already active. It is also advisable to monitor account statements for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to Uphold's support team. Additionally, running a security scan on any device that accessed the site can help detect potential malware or keyloggers. PhishDestroy recommends staying vigilant against similar phishing attempts by verifying URLs before entering credentials. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-BB79EC TLS cert SHA-256: 927656e07b11c1b9142869c6a6c1996526993b64fd76d6b8ad10c405cebaa0f8 ## 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/portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=portal-uphold-en-auths.created.app 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.
