# PhishDestroy threat dossier — excelplumbingandheating.co.uk ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-22 00:01:29 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/excelplumbingandheating.co.uk/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 97/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 13/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 23.227.38.65 (CA, Ottawa) Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: 123-Reg Limited t/a 123-reg [Tag = 123-REG] Nameservers: ns59.domaincontrol.com, ns60.domaincontrol.com Registered: 2018-10-02 Expires: 2026-10-02 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 7936be0fdabc4de668c47027d2a06623e5c9e97efbbcaa739bfc256a6a622454 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2018-10-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 16:37:15 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 14:39:55 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-22 01:47:06 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:02:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eea9c-236b-7494-ae4d-3653d264a049/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/22e0f86f-4db3-4a96-84e2-a8e160c64f96 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/excelplumbingandheating.co.uk crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.excelplumbingandheating.co.uk Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=excelplumbingandheating.co.uk AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/excelplumbingandheating.co.uk URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/excelplumbingandheating.co.uk/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-21 22:14:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] A generic scam website posing as a plumbing service, excelplumbingandheating[.]co[.]uk, is currently active and presents a significant risk to users with a platform risk score of 80/100. This site is hosted on IP 23.227.38.65 and was registered through 123-Reg Limited. According to VirusTotal, 13 out of 91 vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it is listed on 1 public blocklist, including PhishDestroy. The domain was created on 2018-10-02 and was first detected by PhishDestroy on 2026-06-21. With an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, this site may appear legitimate to unsuspecting users. Defenders should block excelplumbingandheating[.]co[.]uk to prevent potential harm. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 13/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-C50E71 TLS cert SHA-256: 7936be0fdabc4de668c47027d2a06623e5c9e97efbbcaa739bfc256a6a622454 ## 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 (volunteer 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/excelplumbingandheating.co.uk/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=excelplumbingandheating.co.uk 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
