AI-assisted evidence review

Overview

upto.exchange is an impersonation phishing page masquerading as a cryptocurrency exchange, specifically targeting Ethereum users. It claims to be the global leader in cryptocurrency trading, listing Bitcoin, Ethereum and premium digital assets. PhishDestroy first saw this site on 2026-10-18. The page is currently unreachable but the domain remains active.

How the scam works

This type of scheme lures victims with promises of premium digital assets and professional trading services. Victims who engage are tricked into connecting their wallets or entering seed phrases, granting the scammers direct access to funds. Once connected, the attacker drains the wallet of all supported cryptocurrencies. The page title and branding imply legitimacy, but the site is not associated with Ethereum or any regulated exchange.

Evidence

VirusTotal flagged the domain with 1 detection out of 92 engines, including URLQuery. PhishDestroy’s own blocklist lists the domain. OTX pulses show 4 reports. The site was last checked on 2026-10-18.

Infrastructure

The domain upto.exchange was registered on 2026-01-11 through NameCheap, Inc. It is hosted on Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) in Singapore. The TLS certificate was issued by Amazon RSA 2048 M04.

What to do

If you visited this site, do not connect a wallet or enter any credentials. Disconnect your wallet immediately if you already connected. Revoke any wallet approvals you granted and transfer remaining funds to a new wallet. Wallet users should check transaction history for unauthorized transfers. Security teams should block this domain and report it to hosting providers.

Accreditation and RAA context

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations

For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.

RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Accountability draft Nothing is sent automatically.

After a phishing incident

Recommendations & Advice for Victims

Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.

What should I do immediately?

Urgent

Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.

  • Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
  • Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
  • Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site

What information should I collect for my report?

FBI guidelines

Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗

  • Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
  • Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
  • Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
  • All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including upto.exchange)
  • Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used

Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.

Where should I report the scam?

  • FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
  • Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
  • Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
  • Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately

A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.

How do phishing scams typically work?

  • Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
  • Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
  • Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
  • AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect

How can I protect myself in the future?

  • Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
  • Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
  • "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines

This report combines saved page captures, registration and network records, scanner results and PhishDestroy reporting history. Each source keeps its own observation date. Open a source report to inspect the original result.
