## ANALYST NARRATIVE

High‑risk phishing campaign using app.whatsapp.ih.hl.cn

Analysis of the domain app.whatsapp.ih.hl.cn indicates an active generic phishing operation as of July 19, 2026. The domain was registered on February 28, 2026 through 成都垦派科技有限公司 and is hosted on nameservers ns1.kenpains.com and ns2.kenpains.com. DNS resolution points to IP address 154.195.74.69. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been blocked by PhishDestroy. VirusTotal scans show that 14 of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain, reinforcing the suspicion of malicious use. Current intelligence does not include page content, landing‑page behavior, or any associated command‑and‑control infrastructure, leaving the exact phishing payload and target audience uncertain. Defenders should proactively block the domain at perimeter and endpoint layers, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP and nameservers, and consider adding the domain to internal threat‑intel feeds. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised to capture any evolution of the infrastructure or additional indicators that may emerge.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260719-CE935E
Favicon MD5:       917515db74ea8d1aee6a246cfbcc0b45
TLS cert SHA-256:      ca3647532895c46771312add0730e1a842eb061710d3dd418e46b93517839022

## 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.
