## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, BitDefender, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Lionic, SOCRadar, Sophos, Webroot
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-06-12

## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

Last verified:     2026-07-24 08:20:32 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-13 08:56:28 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

gov.uk-dwplim.icu: Confirmed UK Government Credential Phishing

This domain, gov.uk-dwplim.icu, is identified as a high-risk phishing site actively targeting users by impersonating official UK government platforms. Analysis confirms its objective is credential harvesting through fraudulent login portals, posing a direct threat to individuals and organizations interacting with government services.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on June 12, 2026, an unusually future date suggesting potential registration system manipulation or typo-squatting tactics. As of the latest assessment, 11 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain as malicious. It appears on 2 security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple threat intelligence feeds. No legitimate association with gov.uk or any official entity has been established.  The domain remains active and operational, continuing to host phishing content. Organizations are advised to implement immediate network-level blocking of gov.uk-dwplim.icu and any associated subdomains. Security teams should monitor for indicators of compromise, including unexpected authentication attempts from affected users. User awareness training should emphasize verification of domain authenticity before entering credentials, particularly for government-related services.

## 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.
