Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] chat.ring-whatapp.com.cn — Phishing Domain Investigation chat.ring-whatapp.com.cn was registered on July 28, 2026 through the Chinese registrar 成都垦派科技有限公司. The domain is delegated to the authoritative name servers ns1.kenpains.com and ns2.kenpains.com, both of which are associated with the same registrar. DNS resolution returns the IPv4 address 192.197.113.111, indicating a single‑host deployment that is currently reachable on the public Internet. The domain appears on one security blocklist and is actively listed by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, confirming that it is being treated as malicious by at least one reputable anti‑phishing organization. VirusTotal analysis shows that 13 of 91 scanned security vendors have flagged the domain, providing independent corroboration of its suspicious nature. No additional public reputation scores, Safe Browsing verdicts, or Open Threat Exchange (OTX) entries were supplied in the available intelligence. The rapid creation date, combined with the lack of a long‑standing presence and the presence of multiple detections, suggests the domain was purpose‑built for a phishing campaign launched shortly after registration. Because the site’s content, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, and page title have not been disclosed, the exact lure and credential‑capture mechanism remain unknown. Defenders should block traffic to the domain at the network perimeter, add the IP address 192.197.113.111 to blacklists, and ensure that any email filtering rules flag messages containing the domain or its sub‑domains. Continuous monitoring of the associated name servers and periodic re‑scans with VirusTotal or similar services are advised to capture any changes in detection coverage. Organizations should also consider sharing the indicator set with information‑sharing platforms to improve community‑wide detection of this high‑risk phishing infrastructure.

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/chat.ring-whatapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=chat.ring-whatapp.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
