upheavalfi[.]xyz

Analysis of upheavalfi.xyz conducted on July 24, 2026 shows the domain is currently offline, but historical data indicate a phishing campaign targeting cryptocurrency users. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 via NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolves to IP 172.67.175.199, which is owned by Cloudflare (ASN 13335) and located in the United States. The domain uses Cloudflare DNS (amit.ns.cloudflare.com, michelle.ns.cloudflare.com) and serves an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 root, indicating a valid TLS handshake at the time of observation. The page title retrieved before takedown was “Upheaval Finance – Decentralized Exchange on HyperEVM”, suggesting an attempt to impersonate a decentralized finance platform.

The site employed the Hostinger hosting stack, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and HTTP/3, which are consistent with a typical Cloudflare‑proxied service. Threat intelligence feeds list the domain on a single security blocklist and it is explicitly blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal recorded five detections out of ninety‑three scanning engines, reinforcing the malicious classification. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, further indicating a lack of benign reputation.

While the offline status limits immediate exposure, the presence of a valid TLS certificate and legitimate‑looking page title can aid social engineering. No additional artefacts such as malware payloads or compromised credentials have been disclosed, so the full scope of the phishing infrastructure remains unknown. Defenders should continue to block the domain at perimeter filters, monitor DNS queries for the associated Cloudflare nameservers, and consider adding the IP 172.67.175.199 to blacklists for outbound traffic. Ongoing surveillance of related Cloudflare‑hosted domains and rapid response to any re‑hosting attempts are recommended.
