PhishDestroy identifies an active credential-harvesting campaign targeting users of the cryptocurrency platform Uphold. The domain website-uphold[.]com was registered on April 16, 2026, and currently resolves to IP address 185.111.111.154. Security research indicates the domain is designed to deceive users into entering their Uphold credentials under the guise of a legitimate login portal. This is a classic phishing tactic used to harvest sensitive authentication data for subsequent account takeovers or financial fraud. The threat actor behind this campaign registered the domain through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar commonly used to obfuscate malicious intent during the early stages of domain lifecycle. The domain also utilizes a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which enhances its credibility and reduces immediate suspicion from potential victims.
Technical analysis of website-uphold[.]com reveals concerning indicators. The domain has not yet been flagged by any of the 95 VirusTotal scanning engines, indicating a low detection rate and high potential for successful compromise. The domain's recent creation date, combined with the absence of blocklist entries, suggests it may be part of a newly deployed campaign with limited historical exposure. The IP address 185.111.111.154 has been associated with other low-reputation activities, further correlating this domain with malicious infrastructure. These factors contribute to an elevated risk profile, warranting urgent attention from cybersecurity professionals and users alike. The combination of a legitimate SSL certificate, recent registration, and undetected status creates a dangerous blend of authenticity and malice.
Users who have visited website-uphold[.]com should immediately assess whether they entered any login credentials. If credentials were submitted, users must change their Uphold password immediately and enable multi-factor authentication if not already configured. Additionally, users should monitor their accounts for any unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity. It is strongly advised to avoid interacting with this domain and report it to relevant security teams or platforms such as Google Safe Browsing, PhishTank, or your organization’s security operations center. Organizations should consider blocking this domain and IP address at the network perimeter to prevent further exposure. Proactive blocking and user education on recognizing phishing domains are critical steps in mitigating the risk posed by such campaigns.

Beware of recovery scammers! After being scammed, criminals may contact you again pretending to be "recovery agents," lawyers, or investigators who claim they can retrieve your lost funds — for a fee. This is a second scam. No legitimate service will ask for upfront payment to recover stolen crypto. Learn more about recovery fraud →

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with website-uphold.com — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- 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
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- 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
website-uphold.com) - 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)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact Coinbase/Binance/Kraken support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet (Ledger, Trezor). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov
