Hosting org: Vercel, Inc Registrar: Tucows Domains Inc Nameservers: ["ns1.vercel-dns.com", "ns2.vercel-dns.com"] Registered: 2026-05-21 Page title: Uphold Login - Secure Access to Your Digital Assets | Crypto, Stocks ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 927656e07b11c1b9142869c6a6c1996526993b64fd76d6b8ad10c405cebaa0f8 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. 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 08:13:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-21 05:26:37 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-06-28 08:20:34 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/019e48f2-5c2f-769e-ba84-7dd3d1f4f3d4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/db5fd64f-c721-4415-81e8-c6fb9e9335fd Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/up-hold-log-in.created.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.up-hold-log-in.created.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=up-hold-log-in.created.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/up-hold-log-in.created.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/up-hold-log-in.created.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 05:02:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk fake login portal specifically targeting Uphold users. Analysis indicates the site impersonates the legitimate Uphold cryptocurrency and digital asset platform, presenting a fraudulent login interface to harvest credentials and potentially facilitate unauthorized access to user accounts. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation with credential theft objectives, commonly used to execute subsequent crypto asset theft or account takeover attacks. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain up-hold-log-in.created.app was registered through Tucows Domains Inc and resolved to IP address 216.150.1.193. The site was detected by 15 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with Google Safe Browsing categorizing it under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING. The domain appeared on three security blocklists and was actively blocked by multiple security mechanisms. Detected technologies include Node.js, React, Google Cloud, Vercel, Next.js, and LaunchDarkly, with a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0/100, and the page title mimicked the legitimate Uphold branding with "Uphold Login - Secure Access to Your Digital Assets | Crypto, Stocks." Mitigation requires immediate credential rotation for any users who accessed the site. Organizations should add the domain and associated IP to blocklists, monitor for credential reuse attempts, and implement multi-factor authentication for all digital asset accounts. Security teams should analyze logs for connections to 216.150.1.193 and review authentication attempts from the timeframe the site was active. User education should emphasize verifying domain authenticity before entering credentials, particularly for financial and crypto platforms. The offline status does not eliminate risk, as harvested credentials may still be exploited. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 15/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-7C527D Favicon MD5: cff90fc1e2b021e715882789ac83aff1 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 (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/up-hold-log-in.created.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=up-hold-log-in.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
