wellsfargosecurelogin.ct.ws is a credential phishing site built to look like a Wells Fargo sign-in portal. It targets Wells Fargo customers. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-02. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving content. Its page title reads "Domain Suspended," while our classification is an active Wells Fargo credential phishing page.
How the scam works
Victims usually arrive through a text, email or ad warning of a locked account or suspicious activity, and the link leads to a page dressed in Wells Fargo branding. The words "secure" and "login" in the hostname are there to make the address look official. Anything typed into the form goes to the operators, including username, password and often one-time codes or card details. With those, criminals can take over the online banking account, move money or use the stolen identity for further fraud.
Evidence
18 of 91 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain on 2026-10-06. The flagging vendors include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Fortra and G-Data. urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict and recognized Wells Fargo branding on the page. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as a phishing domain, and it appears on the PhishDestroy and Phishunt blocklists, so several independent sources agree on what it is.
Infrastructure
The site does not use its own registered domain. It runs as a subdomain under ct.ws, so the operators control only the left-hand label. It is hosted at 185.27.134.142 on the Wildcard UK Limited network in Great Britain. The free ZeroSSL domain-validated certificate gives it a browser padlock, which proves nothing about whether the site belongs to Wells Fargo.
What to do
If you entered credentials here, change your Wells Fargo password right away using the official app or a manually typed address. Change it on any other site where you reused it as well. Turn on or reset two-step verification, then call Wells Fargo using the number on your card to report the exposure and review recent transactions. Watch for follow-up calls or texts pretending to be the bank's fraud team, and never share one-time codes with them. Defenders should block the hostname and its IP at the mail gateway and web proxy, and search logs for clicks or form submissions.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
