# PhishDestroy threat dossier — gov-dwpqtr.top ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-16 01:28:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/gov-dwpqtr.top/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 14/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, LevelBlue, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 4 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registrar: 阿里云计算有限公司 Registered: 2025-09-25 Expires: 2026-09-25 HTTP response: 502 ## 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: 2025-09-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-12 22:30:32 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-16 00:20:45 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-13 09:50:39 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 22:06:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, gov-dwpqtr.top, operates as a targeted phishing portal designed to harvest login credentials for UK government benefits systems, including the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Analysis indicates the site mimics official DWP portals, presenting fraudulent login interfaces that capture usernames, passwords, and personal identification numbers. The campaign likely targets beneficiaries of Universal Credit, Jobseeker’s Allowance, or other welfare programs, with the intent to facilitate identity theft, unauthorized account access, or direct financial fraud through subsequent exploitation of compromised credentials. Technical indicators confirm the malicious nature of this infrastructure. The domain was registered on September 25, 2025, through 阿里云计算有限公司, a registrar frequently associated with phishing operations due to its permissive registration policies. VirusTotal detection metrics reveal that 14 out of 95 security vendors flag gov-dwpqtr.top as malicious, with classifications ranging from phishing to credential theft. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been documented in four distinct threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further corroborating its role in active phishing campaigns. The site was subsequently taken offline, though residual DNS records or cached content may persist in some networks. Users who visited gov-dwpqtr.top or entered credentials on the site should immediately take remedial action. Affected individuals must reset passwords for all associated accounts, particularly those linked to government services, financial institutions, or email providers. Multi-factor authentication should be enabled where available to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access. Victims are advised to monitor their accounts for suspicious activity, including unauthorized transactions or changes to personal details, and report any anomalies to the relevant authorities. System scans using updated security tools are recommended to detect potential malware or keyloggers that may have been deployed during the interaction. ## 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/gov-dwpqtr.top/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gov-dwpqtr.top 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.
