Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is gov.uk-dwpuab.icu a Phishing Scam? The domain gov.uk-dwpuab.icu was registered on 12 June 2026 through Aceville Pte. Ltd. and is currently resolving to the IPv4 address 43.130.72.207. The domain is classified as a generic phishing site and is listed as high‑risk and active as of the report date 29 July 2026. Analytical feeds show that Google Safe Browsing has flagged the domain for social engineering, and the commercial blocklist PhishDestroy includes it among known phishing resources. An additional security blocklist records a single listing for the domain. VirusTotal has processed the domain and 16 of 91 scanned security vendors have raised detections, indicating a moderate level of consensus among anti‑malware engines. The presence of multiple independent detections, combined with the Safe Browsing flag and blocklist entries, confirms that the domain is being used for malicious credential‑harvesting activities. No further technical details such as SSL certificate attributes, HTTP response codes, page title, or content analysis are publicly available at this time. The lack of public page‑level data limits attribution of a specific campaign or victim profile, but the existing indicators are sufficient to warrant immediate defensive action. Organizations should add the domain and its resolving IP address to inbound and outbound deny lists, enforce DNS‑based filtering that incorporates Google Safe Browsing and PhishDestroy feeds, and monitor for any attempted connections from internal hosts. Continuous re‑evaluation is recommended, as additional detections may emerge from future scans. ## 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.uk-dwpuab.icu/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=gov.uk-dwpuab.icu 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.
