# PhishDestroy threat dossier — upshit.finance ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 04:47:25 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/upshit.finance/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Jose) ASN: ASAS13335 CLOUDFLARENET - Cloudflare, Inc., US Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: Dynadot Inc Nameservers: ns1.dyna-ns.net, ns2.dyna-ns.net Registered: 2026-05-25 Expires: 2027-05-25 Page title: Web3 Connect Demo ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YR2 Expires: 2026-09-16 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6a3c77db3c26366d6f8f93002a6b070c70901d6062f02ae67f5bcad8707940ee ## 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: 2026-05-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 19:12:37 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 17:20:14 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 00:04:48 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019edbb6-94da-72f4-bc5b-33f21ef196d4/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/42eb9a7b-dc73-4639-87de-3b3b69688fba Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/upshit.finance crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.upshit.finance Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=upshit.finance AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/upshit.finance URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/upshit.finance/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 14:28:42 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 high-risk delivery scam, specifically designed to impersonate legitimate logistics or shipping services to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or making fraudulent payments. The threat type involves fake parcel delivery notifications, phony tracking pages, or counterfeit shipping invoices, often distributed via email or SMS to trick recipients into interacting with malicious content. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators of compromise. The domain upshit.finance resolves to IP address 54.215.31.113, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AS16509) in the United States. It was registered through Dynadot Inc on May 25, 2026, an unusually future-dated creation that may indicate automated fraudulent registration practices. Security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, with 6 out of 95 engines detecting it as fraudulent. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively blocked by PhishDestroy. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt (YR2), a common choice among threat actors due to its free and automated issuance process. To mitigate risks associated with this delivery scam, users should avoid interacting with any communications claiming to originate from upshit.finance. Organizations should implement email filtering rules to block messages containing this domain or its associated IP address. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering or firewall rules, should be configured to prevent resolution or connection to 54.215.31.113. Users who may have engaged with the domain should monitor accounts for unauthorized activity and consider resetting credentials for any services accessed during the interaction. Security teams are advised to treat this domain as a confirmed threat and prioritize its inclusion in threat intelligence feeds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-8F766E TLS cert SHA-256: 6a3c77db3c26366d6f8f93002a6b070c70901d6062f02ae67f5bcad8707940ee ## 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/upshit.finance/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=upshit.finance 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.
