Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies app.webmehk-whatsapp.com.cn as a threat that poses a significant risk to users by impersonating the popular messaging service WhatsApp, aiming to steal sensitive information such as login credentials. This domain was flagged due to its recent creation on May 21, 2026, and the fact that 20 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have raised warnings about it, indicating a potential security risk, and it resolves to the IP address 172.104.101.57, which further supports the notion that this site is not what it seems. If a user has visited this site, they should immediately take steps to secure their account, such as changing their password and monitoring their activity for any signs of unauthorized access, as the domain's use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate and its appearance on a security blocklist suggest that it may be attempting to trick users into divulging sensitive information, and given its current offline status, it is crucial to remain vigilant and report any similar domains to the relevant authorities to prevent further brand impersonation attempts ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: f9a889e29bad8d572d383cade594b91e01af9a9070593b7a297884ac958f2b79 ## 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/app.webmehk-whatsapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=app.webmehk-whatsapp.com.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
