This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-22 09:20:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-22 06:21:03 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-05-31 15:45:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-23 18:25:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4e56-1c00-7193-91dc-ca978782edb7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/edb0abc4-6a5f-4968-8f16-3e79e4d617de Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/cctv-whatsapp.com.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.cctv-whatsapp.com.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=cctv-whatsapp.com.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/cctv-whatsapp.com.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/cctv-whatsapp.com.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-22 09:21:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies cctv-whatsapp.com.cn as a high-risk phishing domain actively impersonating legitimate WhatsApp CCTV services to harvest user credentials and sensitive information. This domain specifically targets individuals seeking surveillance or monitoring solutions, luring victims into a trap where login details are exfiltrated to attacker-controlled servers. The threat actor behind this campaign leverages social engineering to exploit trust in well-known messaging platforms, embedding malicious links within seemingly innocuous service offerings. This domain was flagged by OpenPhish, PhishingArmy, and OISD, with VirusTotal confirming detection by 21 out of 95 security vendors. Registered on April 21, 2026, through 成都垦派科技有限公司 and hosted on IP 104.21.9.182, the domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to appear legitimate. Its recent creation and rapid inclusion on multiple blocklists underscore the urgency of avoidance, as the window for proactive defense remains narrow. If you have visited cctv-whatsapp.com.cn, immediately change passwords for any accounts exposed during the session and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Scan your device for malware using reputable antivirus software, as the site may have deployed additional payloads. Report the domain to your email provider and local cybersecurity authorities to aid in broader threat mitigation. Stay vigilant—legitimate CCTV or WhatsApp services will never request login credentials via unsolicited links. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260522-C22328 TLS cert SHA-256: 4f576b543a08f52c1081ddda96baddd9068a32560704f271576d1298ff3b61b6 ## 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/cctv-whatsapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cctv-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.
