# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hmrc-login.itsvelly.com ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-23 06:16:39 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hmrc-login.itsvelly.com/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Credential Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 153.92.6.156 (GB, Manchester) ASN: AS47583 Hostinger International Limited Hosting org: Hostinger International Ltd. Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ["ns1.dns-parking.com", "ns2.dns-parking.com"] Registered: 2026-04-21 Page title: HMRC Login ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / R13 Expires: 2026-07-20 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b1f737b2400833ffdbe2ec5c414bd56e2255ff45a63d689b47cce1321d59b5ec Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator): - www.hmrc-login.itsvelly.com ## 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: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-21 12:23:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-04-21 09:29:58 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 07:40:11 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 02:13:54 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019daf59-6481-77b3-ac5c-dbbd9352bdbf/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/b0b314c4-142f-4225-9632-3bb7c07d3ae1 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hmrc-login.itsvelly.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hmrc-login.itsvelly.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hmrc-login.itsvelly.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hmrc-login.itsvelly.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hmrc-login.itsvelly.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-21 12:24:11 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the active credential phishing domain hmrc-login.itsvelly.com impersonating HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the UK tax authority. This fraudulent site is designed to steal login credentials by mimicking the official government portal. This domain was flagged by 0 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC on September 23, 2023. It resolves to IP 153.92.6.156 and currently operates without detection on major security platforms, despite its malicious intent. The domain’s SSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt adds a false sense of legitimacy, masking its phishing functionality. Users are strongly advised to avoid interacting with hmrc-login.itsvelly.com and report the domain to their local cybercrime units or HMRC directly. To verify legitimate HMRC services, users should only access gov.uk domains ending in .gov.uk. Never enter sensitive information on unverified sites, and enable multi-factor authentication on official accounts to mitigate credential theft. This domain remains active and poses a high risk to uninformed users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 1/94 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-5CDF08 Favicon MD5: 7f1c98c934031fdfb071a3f9ac06470c TLS cert SHA-256: b1f737b2400833ffdbe2ec5c414bd56e2255ff45a63d689b47cce1321d59b5ec ## 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/hmrc-login.itsvelly.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hmrc-login.itsvelly.com 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.
