Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] [block-whatsappp.hl.cn] Safety Check — Phishing Detected This domain, block-whatsappp.hl.cn, was registered on 2026-07-11 through 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司 and is currently hosted on Cloudflare nameservers mallory.ns.cloudflare.com and ryan.ns.cloudflare.com. DNS resolution returns a single IPv4 address, 188.114.97.3, which remains active as of the report date. The domain is classified as generic_phishing and its risk level is marked under_investigation, with activity still observed. No additional infrastructure such as secondary A records, TXT entries, or MX records have been disclosed, and no content analysis is available at this time. The lack of public content or page‑title information leaves the exact phishing payload unknown, but the registration pattern and rapid deployment suggest a short‑lived malicious campaign targeting users of messaging services. Defenders should add block-whatsappp.hl.cn to blocklists for inbound and outbound traffic, monitor DNS queries for the associated IP address, and consider sinkholing the domain to disrupt any credential‑harvesting infrastructure. Continuous scanning for related subdomains and watch for future DNS changes is advised, as the threat actor may pivot to additional hosting or fast‑flux techniques. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260714-4025E9 Favicon MD5: 0d5b38c21ddc5bca9707b092e06183cf TLS cert SHA-256: f16e85a09ddece3174b74703d6a02c3d6dfb176f7c6c2c1bb99158dd39424f34 ## 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/block-whatsappp.hl.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=block-whatsappp.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.
