## 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

First reported:    2026-07-04 10:49:59 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-04 18:20:16 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-04 18:17:26 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-04 12:45:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, h5-chat-whatsapp.tw.cn, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site specializing in brand impersonation. Analysis indicates the domain mimics WhatsApp’s web interface, as evidenced by the page title "WhatsApp 網頁版跨國貿易," which translates to "WhatsApp Web International Trade." The site likely targets users seeking legitimate WhatsApp Web access, redirecting them to fraudulent login or credential harvesting pages. No direct evidence of a crypto drainer kit was observed, but the domain’s infrastructure and branding suggest a focus on credential theft or social engineering attacks under the guise of cross-border trade services.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on June 30, 2026, through 北京新网数码信息技术有限公司 (Beijing Xinwang Digital Information Technology Co., Ltd.). It resolves to the IP address 156.239.9.106 and is secured with a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal detection shows 20 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. As of the latest scan, no Google Safe Browsing (GSB) blocklist entries were identified, though the domain remains active and unmitigated. The creation date discrepancy (2026) suggests either a typo or an attempt to evade age-based detection mechanisms.  The domain remains active and poses a continued risk to users. Response actions should include immediate blacklisting in enterprise security gateways, DNS sinkholing for the resolved IP (156.239.9.106), and monitoring for related subdomains or IP reuse. Users are advised to verify domain authenticity before entering credentials, particularly for services like WhatsApp Web. Organizations should alert employees to the threat, emphasizing the risk of brand impersonation in phishing campaigns targeting international trade or communication platforms. Given the domain’s high-risk status and active exploitation, proactive takedown requests to the registrar and hosting provider are recommended.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260704-B9D868
Favicon MD5:       b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71
TLS cert SHA-256:      c10b83aba47e8e1846735dbcee8998d3dd7daca83529b8b414e770fa39883b97

## 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 (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.
