people-whatapp.hl.cn Credential Harvesting Campaign Detected

The domain people-whatapp.hl.cn is presently flagged as a high‑risk credential‑harvesting site. HTTP monitoring shows the server returns a 302 redirect, a technique commonly used to forward victims to a malicious login page after initial contact. The domain has been added to a security blocklist and is actively blocked by the PhishDestroy mitigation service, indicating that reputable anti‑phishing infrastructure has identified it as malicious. VirusTotal analysis reports that three of ninety‑one scanned scanners raise detections, reinforcing the suspicion despite a modest overall detection ratio.

The domain appears on a single external blocklist, which, together with the redirect behavior, suggests a focused campaign rather than a widely distributed service. Infrastructure details such as registrar information, IP address, autonomous system number, hosting provider, or SSL certificate data are not disclosed in the available intelligence, limiting deeper attribution. No page title or brand reference has been extracted, so the exact content served after the redirect remains unknown. The lack of additional context does not diminish the observed risk; the combination of active blocking, redirection, and multiple vendor detections aligns with typical phishing‑as‑a‑service operations that aim to harvest credentials for popular messaging platforms.

Defenders should immediately deny network traffic to people-whatapp.hl.cn, add the domain to DNS‑based blocklists, and monitor outbound connections for attempted redirects to the host. Incident response teams should treat any authentication attempts involving this domain as compromised and enforce credential resets for affected users. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further intelligence—such as hosting details or observed payloads—may emerge and refine the threat profile.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      a2c0e181e39e2bb750b60475b451ffa454e462bd733966ebfa02c1d4c44d5dc5

## 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.
