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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 02:33:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-01 00:42:25 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 10:45:08 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 03:03:12 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1b18-0238-772c-9359-978e440f595f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/4fab4cfe-1c0c-4b64-bd14-884927f82f84 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 02:34:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain presents an active phishing threat designed to impersonate official WhatsApp authentication portals. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate WhatsApp login interfaces, likely targeting users through social engineering tactics to harvest account credentials, payment details, or personal information. The domain's infrastructure and page title explicitly reference WhatsApp, suggesting a targeted campaign against users of the messaging platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com was registered on June 15, 2026, through Dominet (HK) Limited, with an unusually future creation date that may indicate domain generation algorithm usage or registry manipulation. It currently resolves to IP address 52.184.98.194 and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. Google Safe Browsing has classified this domain under SOCIAL_ENGINEERING, and VirusTotal reports 17 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain remains active as of this report. Users who have visited crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com should immediately cease all interaction and perform the following actions: reset credentials for any accounts entered on the site, particularly WhatsApp and associated email accounts; scan local devices for malware using updated security tools; monitor financial statements for unauthorized transactions; and report the incident to their organization's security team or relevant authorities. If authentication tokens or session cookies were exposed, users should revoke active sessions from their WhatsApp account settings. Organizations should block the domain and IP address at perimeter security controls and update endpoint detection rules to prevent access. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260701-66BA33 Favicon MD5: 3b4c86eaa5b2c45418563d5119ae44a7 TLS cert SHA-256: 2fec319aee437267016e7fe635bd0d88d3fe9490d5ce4a71c8164485b28948ce ## 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/crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=crztd669web.ch-za-whatsappo.com 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.
