Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified upheld.created.app as a sophisticated phishing site designed to impersonate the legitimate Uphold cryptocurrency platform. The site lures visitors with a deceptive login page titled "Log® In — Uphold® || Sign In™" and attempts to steal their credentials and potentially two-factor authentication codes. This generic phishing threat poses a high risk of financial loss and identity theft for anyone who enters their Uphold account details. The domain was created on May 21, 2026, and registered through Tucows Domains Inc., a common registrar for malicious sites. Security analysis reveals that 7 out of 95 antivirus vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on three separate security blocklists. The site is hosted at IP address 216.150.1.129 with an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (R13), which gives it a false sense of legitimacy. Fortunately, the site has been taken offline, but the domain remains active and could be repurposed for future attacks. If you have visited upheld.created.app and entered any personal information, especially your Uphold credentials, immediately change your Uphold password and enable two-factor authentication. Monitor your accounts for any unauthorized transactions and consider freezing your Uphold account temporarily. Report the incident to Uphold's support team and run a full antivirus scan on your device. Stay vigilant against similar phishing attempts and always verify the URL before logging in to any financial platform. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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/upheld.created.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=upheld.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.
