## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-16 17:51:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies mc-whatsapp.vercel.app as a malicious domain posing as a WhatsApp login portal to steal cryptocurrency. This fake site uses social engineering to trick users into connecting wallets or entering credentials, risking fund theft. The domain leverages Vercel’s hosting infrastructure to appear legitimate while distributing a crypto drainer payload.

This domain was flagged by 22 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating widespread detection as malicious. It resolves to IP 216.198.79.67 and operates under Google Trust Services’ SSL certificate to enhance credibility. Registered through Vercel Inc., the domain exploits the platform’s reputation to bypass initial scrutiny. The active campaign exploits WhatsApp’s brand trustworthiness, luring victims via deceptive links or ads.

If you visited mc-whatsapp.vercel.app, disconnect any connected wallets immediately and revoke permissions via your wallet’s settings. Do not enter personal or financial information. Run a malware scan on your device to ensure no additional threats were installed. Report the domain to PhishDestroy to help block future attacks and warn others.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       6bb288b8ba772471f23cee4f99b54c08
TLS cert SHA-256:      4b377d7d8e1770bbe1519b5896246c116ab3aea968434658b330f054f7ea4338

## 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.
