# PhishDestroy threat dossier — cdn-b-whatsapp.com.cn ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-26 21:47:06 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/cdn-b-whatsapp.com.cn/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 21/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, Cluster25, CRDF, ESET, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky, LevelBlue, Lionic, Mimecast, Netcraft, OpenPhish, SOCRadar, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 43.226.17.60 (HK, Kwai Chung) ASN: AS64050 BGP Network Limited Hosting org: Hong Kong WAN Shou Network Technology Limited Registered: 2026-05-22 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: unknown Expires: 2036-04-29 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6b3e7ce56f30f7d3c56a5c24188b3b27bea58852dc1a4ff87080ce8ab87f2301 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-05-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-22 11:30:22 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 06:48:34 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 20:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-05-26 18:25:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:47:54 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, cdn-b-whatsapp.com.cn, is identified as a phishing site designed to impersonate legitimate WhatsApp services to steal user credentials and personal information. Analysis indicates that the domain poses a significant threat to users who may be tricked into believing it is an official WhatsApp resource, leading to potential financial and identity theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals that cdn-b-whatsapp.com.cn was created on May 22, 2026, and is registered to Hong Kong WAN Shou Network Technology Limited. The domain resolves to the IP address 43.226.17.60, located in Hong Kong. It is currently flagged by 21 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on one security blocklist. The domain was taken offline, which suggests that it may have been used in active phishing campaigns before being shut down. If users have visited cdn-b-whatsapp.com.cn, they should immediately change their WhatsApp account passwords and enable two-factor authentication to secure their accounts. Additionally, users should monitor their financial statements and credit reports for any unauthorized transactions or activity. Reporting the incident to their local cybersecurity authorities and the official WhatsApp support team is also recommended to help mitigate the potential damage and prevent further phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 60ecbe0342a9ba5d0b348619d6817311 TLS cert SHA-256: 6b3e7ce56f30f7d3c56a5c24188b3b27bea58852dc1a4ff87080ce8ab87f2301 ## 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/cdn-b-whatsapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=cdn-b-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.
