# PhishDestroy threat dossier — uphold-io.meku.app ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-06 14:21:59 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/uphold-io.meku.app/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 19/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: BitDefender, ESET, Emsisoft, Fortinet, G-Data, Google Safebrowsing, Netcraft, Sophos, Webroot URLQuery: 3 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 157.230.64.11 (US, North Bergen) Hosting org: AS14061 DigitalOcean, LLC Registrar: Porkbun LLC Nameservers: ["hassan.ns.cloudflare.com", "joyce.ns.cloudflare.com"] Page title: Uphold | Login ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cefaee22a0c8056ff0af4dc7fff8909f4f83aba6873211563d1b10e6ace1132c Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - meku.app ## 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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-05-28 10:40:10 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-28 07:40:35 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-02 17:20:40 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-29 00:09:18 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e6d84-4993-74ea-8c86-70882a089a80/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f4d3e456-9b45-421a-b81a-a5bc0dee7334 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/uphold-io.meku.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.uphold-io.meku.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=uphold-io.meku.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/uphold-io.meku.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/uphold-io.meku.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-28 10:40:30 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Threat Overview The domain uphold-io[.]meku[.]app has been identified as a phishing website designed to impersonate Uphold. This malicious site targets cryptocurrency users by creating a convincing replica of the legitimate Uphold platform. Attack Vector The phishing site attempts to trick users into connecting their wallets or entering their seed phrases and private keys. Once captured, the attackers use these credentials to drain victims' cryptocurrency holdings. Risk Indicators - Domain registered on a standard TLD (app) - Contains brand keywords associated with Uphold - Domain length: 18 characters - Vt Detected - Drainer Detected Recommendations Always access Uphold through the official website. Never enter your seed phrase or private keys on any website. Use hardware wallets for additional security. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260528-672A8D Favicon MD5: 0949b4bab12c412626a9517c4ae6f715 TLS cert SHA-256: cefaee22a0c8056ff0af4dc7fff8909f4f83aba6873211563d1b10e6ace1132c ## 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/uphold-io.meku.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=uphold-io.meku.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.
