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 08:14:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-21 05:30:23 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-03 00:20:37 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/019e48f3-85cc-70a6-a725-8ab4a4882fda/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/5537280d-fae3-4bf4-9905-c62a1ecb23c9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/uphold-wallts.created.app crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.uphold-wallts.created.app Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=uphold-wallts.created.app AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/uphold-wallts.created.app URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/uphold-wallts.created.app/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:43:24 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 generic phishing site impersonating the legitimate Uphold Wallet platform, designed to deceive users into disclosing cryptocurrency wallet credentials, recovery phrases, or personal identification details. The threat type is classified as credential harvesting with financial fraud intent, targeting users of multi-asset digital wallets. Analysis indicates an elevated risk level due to the domain's deceptive branding, recent registration, and active distribution in phishing campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on May 21, 2026, through Tucows Domains Inc, an uncommon timeline suggesting potential domain spoofing or preemptive registration for malicious use. It resolves to the IP address 216.150.16.1, which has been associated with prior phishing infrastructure. The site was taken offline following detection, but not before appearing on three security blocklists. VirusTotal reports 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, with detections likely tied to behavioral patterns or known phishing templates. The SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt (R13), provides basic encryption but does not validate legitimacy, as phishing sites commonly use free certificates to appear secure. The page title, 'Uphold Wallet - Secure Multi-Asset Digital Wallet for Crypto, Precious Metals,' precisely mirrors the branding of the legitimate service, increasing the likelihood of successful social engineering. Mitigation steps for users and organizations include immediate blocking of the domain and its resolving IP (216.150.16.1) at the network perimeter. Users who may have interacted with the site should assume credential compromise and initiate password resets for all associated accounts, particularly cryptocurrency wallets and financial services. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced where available, and recovery phrases or private keys should never be entered on unverified platforms. Organizations should monitor for indicators of compromise (IOCs) such as the domain, IP, and SSL certificate thumbprint in logs, and conduct phishing awareness training emphasizing the risks of lookalike domains. Given the domain's offline status, further forensic analysis may be limited, but historical DNS records and WHOIS data should be preserved for potential incident response. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-F988D0 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 (operator 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-wallts.created.app/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=uphold-wallts.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
