Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain upshiftdesktop.live is linked to an active delivery scam impersonating legitimate shipping services to trick users into providing sensitive information or making fraudulent payments. Users may receive false notifications about package deliveries, prompting them to click on malicious links or share personal data. PhishDestroy's investigation reveals that upshiftdesktop.live was registered on April 8, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The domain resolves to IP address 64.29.17.1 and currently holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. A VirusTotal scan of this domain shows 0 detections out of 95 antivirus engines, indicating it has not yet been flagged by major security products. Despite this, the domain status remains active and is under investigation due to its behavior and delivery scam association. If you have visited upshiftdesktop.live, do not enter any personal or financial information. Avoid clicking on any links or downloading files from the site. It is recommended to run a full antivirus scan on your device and monitor your financial accounts for suspicious activity. Report any suspicious messages or emails referencing this domain to your email provider or IT security team to help prevent further harm. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-DB32A1 Favicon MD5: 9f504444f85a5af2eef9264b02ae40be TLS cert SHA-256: 9c66bac149c23664f1f4abe1ef2336ac1ecdbecb1df8075a1dfdf1f0c0900a85 ## 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/upshiftdesktop.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=upshiftdesktop.live 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.
