## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-23 17:24:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies app-top-whatsapp.com.cn as a live WhatsApp web phishing page designed to steal user login credentials. The site mimics the official WhatsApp Web interface, tricking visitors into entering their phone numbers and passwords. Once harvested, these credentials are immediately abused to hijack WhatsApp accounts for fraud, blackmail, or further phishing campaigns.  This domain was flagged after 16 of 95 security vendors detected malicious activity, including OpenPhish. The domain was registered on May 23, 2026 through Dynadot Inc and resolves to IP 101.32.45.189. It uses a TrustAsia SSL certificate to appear legitimate, but the mismatch between the domain name and the official WhatsApp service makes it easy to spot.  If you visited app-top-whatsapp.com.cn, immediately change your WhatsApp password and enable two-step verification. Check your account for unauthorized logins via WhatsApp Settings > Linked Devices. If you entered your credentials, revoke access to unrecognized devices and report the compromise to WhatsApp support. Avoid this domain entirely and use only web.whatsapp.com or the official mobile app.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260523-3F5614
Favicon MD5:       24c3ef4456b2c1c9c244728e91b27511
TLS cert SHA-256:      73685691454ad51b34ad2898245d61d5f7a1256867463154ab3701654df4be0c

## 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.
