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 08:24:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-21 05:40:00 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-31 09:20:38 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-23 16:27:19 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/019e48fc-4cab-775d-a104-a85c63c2b939/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f2856e7e-9267-475a-91e1-ec1b26e82891 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/upheld-ai.created.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.upheld-ai.created.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=upheld-ai.created.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/upheld-ai.created.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/upheld-ai.created.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-21 08:25:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies upheld-ai.created.app as an active crypto drainer domain hosting fraudulent content designed to steal cryptocurrency. The site leverages AI service branding to deceive users into connecting wallets or transferring funds under false pretenses, posing a direct financial threat to visitors. Current evidence confirms active hosting and zero detections despite clear malicious intent, warranting urgent attention from security teams and crypto users. This domain was flagged with 0 detections out of 95 VirusTotal scans, resolves to IP 216.150.16.1, and uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. The .created.app subdomain structure indicates a potential pattern of disposable phishing infrastructure leveraging App Service hosting. Zero current blocklist presence and no prior reputation suggest a recently activated or rapidly evolving campaign targeting crypto users. Users should block upheld-ai.created.app immediately and avoid interacting with any associated pages. Always verify URLs through official channels and use hardware wallets or security extensions when handling crypto transactions. Report the domain to threat intelligence platforms and cryptocurrency platforms to prevent further victimization. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-F8815E 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/upheld-ai.created.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=upheld-ai.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.
