whitewhalememe[.]app

whitewhalememe.app is currently active and has been observed serving a page titled “The White Whale Christmas Distribution”. The domain was registered on February 21, 2026 through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited and is hosted on Cloudflare’s network (AS13335) with the IP address 104.21.81.237 located in the United States. DNS resolution uses Cloudflare’s authoritative name servers keira.ns.cloudflare.com and mario.ns.cloudflare.com. The site presents an HTTP 301 redirect and presents an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services under the WE1 identifier, confirming the use of HTTPS with HSTS and HTTP/3 enabled. Threat intelligence shows the domain is listed on two public phishing blocklists, specifically PhishDestroy and ScamSniffer, and appears in a single AlienVault OTX pulse.

Gridinsoft’s trust scoring engine assigns a score of 0 out of 100, indicating a high likelihood of malicious intent. VirusTotal scans have returned 7 positive detections out of 93 submitted analyses, reinforcing the suspicion that the site is being used for phishing. No additional contextual information about the page content has been published, so the exact phishing lure or credential‑harvesting mechanism remains unknown. Defenders should treat any traffic to or from 104.21.81.237 as potentially malicious. Email gateways, web proxies, and endpoint protection solutions should block the domain and its associated IP.

Because the site uses Cloudflare’s edge network, traditional IP‑based blocking may affect legitimate Cloudflare‑served services; therefore, domain‑level blocking combined with URL‑filtering rules is recommended. Continuous monitoring of the domain’s DNS records and any changes to the HTTP response (e.g., new redirects or payloads) is advised. Organizations should also update threat‑intel feeds with the observed indicators—domain name, IP, name servers, SSL fingerprint, and the 7 VirusTotal detections—to improve detection across security controls.
