# PhishDestroy threat dossier — uphold.techinsgroup.co ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-13 03:35:22 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/uphold.techinsgroup.co/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, ESET, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 18.228.42.232 Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu Nameservers: lunar.dns-parking.com, solar.dns-parking.com Registered: 2026-04-02 Page title: Uphold HTTP response: 530 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-08-22 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 8d919c831cefee441512342f67c033988f0a0febaed79781a75b06a3af41b783 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-26 05:30:08 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-25 10:15:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-13 03:36:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:30:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e5e9f-626c-712f-a1c6-5618384d4337/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/f1e4a090-cd5b-461d-8876-ebef22fb7ea8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/uphold.techinsgroup.co crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.uphold.techinsgroup.co Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=uphold.techinsgroup.co AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/uphold.techinsgroup.co URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/uphold.techinsgroup.co/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-06 23:10:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above.

Technical Details - Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu - Hosting IP: 18.228.42.232 - VirusTotal: 4 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain as malicious (domain scan, not IP) - Creation Date: 2026-04-02 Recommendations - Block and report this domain immediately via your threat-intel platform - Implement email filtering rules to block emails containing this domain. - Educate users about the risks of generic phishing and scam attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260525-7DB516 TLS cert SHA-256: 8d919c831cefee441512342f67c033988f0a0febaed79781a75b06a3af41b783 ## 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.techinsgroup.co/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=uphold.techinsgroup.co 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.
