Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] wellscreditunion.com: Confirmed Banking Phishing Site Analysis of wellscreditunion.com indicates that the domain was registered on 30 June 2026 through the registrar Ultahost, Inc. The authoritative nameservers ns1.ultahost.com through ns4.ultahost.com resolve the domain to the address 173.211.81.11, which is currently reachable and listed as active. VirusTotal scans have recorded detections from four of ninety‑one security vendors, confirming that the domain exhibits characteristics associated with malicious infrastructure. Independent monitoring by PhishDestroy has placed the domain on its blocklist, and an additional security blocklist also flags it, demonstrating corroborating evidence of abuse. The rapid creation date, coupled with the lack of publicly visible SSL certificate information or HTTP status codes, suggests a short‑lived campaign designed to mimic legitimate banking communications. No page title or content analysis has been released, leaving the exact phishing vector and credential‑harvesting tactics unverified. Defenders should immediately add wellscreditunion.com and its resolving IP 173.211.81.11 to network and endpoint blocklists, enforce DNS sinkholing where possible, and monitor outbound traffic for attempts to contact the domain. Continuous re‑scanning of the domain on multi‑vendor platforms is advised to capture any changes in detection rates. Organizations that use Wells Fargo or related credit union services should heighten user awareness, reminding employees that the domain is unauthorised and that legitimate communications will never originate from a newly created, non‑brand‑owned host. Threat intelligence teams should also track other domains hosted on the same Ultahost name server set, as the registrar has been used in prior campaigns. Ongoing observation of the IP reputation and any emergent TLS fingerprints will provide early indicators if the infrastructure is repurposed for further phishing attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-D924C2 Favicon MD5: edb1b1464435c83d88373b1db0b7b01e TLS cert SHA-256: 8ab41f4e471e4dfa2f84055cf198d32f178bdcbbabf7258142fb17049f7d0274 ## 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 (operator 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/wellscreditunion.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wellscreditunion.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
