## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 05:34:50 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, support-uphold-cdn.tem3.io, poses a high risk of brand impersonation, targeting the financial services brand Uphold. The domain is designed to deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate Uphold service, potentially leading to unauthorized access to personal and financial information. The page title 'Log In | Uphold®: | Sign In to Your Account*' mirrors the official Uphold login page, enhancing the likelihood of user deception.

Analysis indicates that support-uphold-cdn.tem3.io has been flagged by 19 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a significant consensus among security experts regarding its malicious nature. The domain was created on May 13, 2026, and it is currently offline, indicating a recent attempt to engage in fraudulent activities. Additionally, the domain appears on three security blocklists, including those maintained by MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may add to the domain's credibility but does not guarantee safety.

If a user has visited support-uphold-cdn.tem3.io, they should immediately check their accounts for any unauthorized activity. It is recommended to change passwords and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for all related accounts. Users should also monitor their financial statements and credit reports for any suspicious transactions. Reporting the incident to Uphold's customer support and the relevant financial institutions is advised to mitigate potential damage.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       919962de8d89ccfb6995439aaee103a5
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.
