Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a generic phishing threat with high risk level and remains active as of July 14, 2026. VirusTotal data shows 14 of 91 security vendors flagging the domain, indicating broad consensus among detection engines. The domain was registered three days ago on July 11, 2026, through the Chinese registrar 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司, a pattern consistent with rapidly deployed phishing infrastructure. Infrastructure analysis reveals nameservers hosted by Cloudflare (mallory.ns.cloudflare.com and ryan.ns.cloudflare.com) and the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.132.216, which is part of Cloudflare's hosting range. The short registration age combined with the high detection rate strongly suggests this domain was created specifically for malicious purposes. Defenders should block all traffic to this domain and its associated IP address at the network perimeter. Email security gateways should quarantine any messages containing links to apiim-whatsapp.hl.cn. Monitoring for related subdomains or variations under the same nameservers is recommended. The exact phishing page content has not yet been analysed, but the domain name suggests possible targeting of WhatsApp or messaging platform users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260714-6A9587 TLS cert SHA-256: 2e0e6407d807e2f1d531ccb115906be8848dfeff366888ed3d7245df8e313c4d ## 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/apiim-whatsapp.hl.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=apiim-whatsapp.hl.cn 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.
