useuplink.xyz presents itself as "Uplink — Discord bots and websites", a service pitched at people who run or build Discord communities. PhishDestroy classifies it as an impersonation phishing page that trades on the Discord brand. We first saw it on 2026-10-09. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving its phishing content.
How the scam works
Offering custom bots and websites gives the site a reason to ask visitors to sign in with Discord or authorize something on their account. Pages of this type usually show a lookalike Discord login form or QR-code sign-in, or push an authorization step that hands over account access. The victim can lose control of their Discord account, and if they moderate a server, the attacker may gain control of that community too. Hijacked accounts and servers are then commonly used to spread the same lure or post fake crypto announcements to trusting members.
Evidence
On 2026-10-13, 11 of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain. The vendors flagging it include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft and Kaspersky. Most engines had not caught up, but agreement across these independent vendors supports the classification. The domain is also listed by MetaMask and SEAL alongside PhishDestroy, which shows it is considered a risk to crypto users. It appears in 3 AlienVault OTX threat pulses.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-30 through Cloudflare, Inc., only nine days before we detected it. That short gap fits a site set up quickly to start phishing. The site is hosted at 163.123.236.191 on the RackGenius network in the United States. Its padlock comes from a free Let's Encrypt certificate, which encrypts the connection but says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
If you signed in or scanned a QR code on this site, change your Discord password at once and enable or reset two-factor authentication. Then go to Authorized Apps in Discord's settings and remove anything you do not recognize. Warn your server's members and check moderator roles, webhooks and recent posts for anything you did not make. If you reused that password elsewhere, change it there too. Server admins and security teams should block the domain, flag it in community moderation tools and report any Discord links pointing to it.

Registrar accreditation and DNS abuse obligations
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.
Saved certificate metadata. Certificate dates without a timezone are shown as stored. Transport encryption does not establish that the site is trustworthy.

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.

联邦调查局（FBI）指南
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
当地警方 — 即使无法立即采取行动，也能留下正式记录
