## Stored PhishDestroy analysis

Overview
PhishDestroy listed the domain as suspicious after Google Safe Browsing flagged it for social engineering. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-23. An HTTP request on that date returned a 302 redirect to the official WhatsApp Web site.

How the scam works
The assessment matches a common social‑engineering pattern where attackers register look‑alike domains and forward visitors to legitimate services to capture credentials. No credential‑capture page was observed; the domain simply redirected to the official WhatsApp Web site.

Evidence
Google Safe Browsing on 2026-10-23 flagged the domain for social engineering. VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-23 with 92 engines and reported zero detections. URLScan recorded the redirect chain on 2026-10-23, showing a 307 upgrade to HTTPS and a 302 redirect to the official WhatsApp Web site, and its engines gave a non‑malicious verdict. OTX had no pulses as of 2026-10-23, and PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist marks the domain as blocked while external blocklists returned no matches.

Infrastructure
The DNS response recorded on 2026-10-23 listed A records 104.21.48.87 and 172.67.183.8 and AAAA records in Cloudflare’s IPv6 range; the IP 104.21.48.87 was associated with Cloudflare, Inc. in Canada. The TLS certificate observed on 2026-10-23 was issued by Google Trust Services, valid from 2026-10-13 to 2027-01-11 for pwd-whatapp.hl.cn. Registration data indicated the domain had existed for about 12 years (4359 days) and the zone used Cloudflare’s nameservers quinton.ns.cloudflare.com and vera.ns.cloudflare.com.

What to do
If you entered WhatsApp credentials after visiting the domain, change your WhatsApp password and enable two‑factor authentication on the official site. Defenders should block the exact domain, monitor logs for requests to it, and treat it as a potential phishing vector.
