## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Credential Phishing

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      8/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       GoDaddy.com, LLC
Nameservers:     ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "dns2.p08.nsone.net", "dns3.p08.nsone.net", "dns4.p08.nsone.net"]
Registered:      2026-06-08
Page title:      LogIn® | Uphold®

## 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: 2026-06-08 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-06-08 19:39:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-08 18:31:38 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-25 00:20:44 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-10 06:51:25 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 16:39:12 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies usappholdsso.wixstudio.com as a crypto drainer specifically designed to impersonate the legitimate Uphold cryptocurrency platform. This domain was created on June 08, 2026, and registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC. The page title 'LogIn® | Uphold®' is a direct attempt to deceive users into believing they are accessing the official Uphold login page, thereby stealing their credentials and draining their crypto assets.

Technical indicators from PhishDestroy's analysis reveal that the domain has a VirusTotal score of 8/95, meaning eight out of 95 security vendors flag it as malicious. The domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, and the IP address associated with the site was not disclosed in the available intelligence. Google Safe Browsing likely flags this domain, as it appears on at least one security blocklist. The combination of a very recent creation date and high vendor flagging rate strongly suggests a malicious intent.

As of the latest check, the domain is offline, indicating it has been taken down either by the hosting provider or through security interventions. However, users should remain vigilant as similar domains may appear. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding any site that asks for Uphold credentials or appears to mimic the brand. If you have already entered information, change your Uphold password immediately and enable two-factor authentication. Always verify the URL before logging in and use official bookmarks or the Uphold app directly.

## 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.
