## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:38:35 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies upholddd.gitbook.io as a high-risk phishing domain designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. Classified under generic phishing threats, this domain poses significant danger to unsuspecting visitors through social engineering tactics aimed at personal data compromise.

Supporting this assessment, upholddd.gitbook.io was registered recently through Cloudflare, Inc. and appears on multiple security blocklists. It was flagged by 13 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors and marked by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering risks. The domain resolved to IP 172.64.147.209 and was active briefly before being taken offline. Such indicators, including its ephemeral presence and association with suspicious infrastructure, affirm its malicious intent.

Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with upholddd.gitbook.io and not to submit any personal or financial details under any circumstances. Security measures such as updated antivirus software and cautious browsing habits can mitigate exposure. Currently, the domain is offline, reducing immediate risk, but vigilance is crucial as similar threats may emerge. PhishDestroy continues to monitor for related activity to enhance user protection against evolving phishing schemes.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      a438a4e073260fcc8ef4463db227800d90eab44bfa4f612ea36a7c2ff690881b

## 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.
