No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-21 15:25:30 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-21 12:29:14 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-05-21 19:50:04 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e4a7d-bccf-752c-bbe2-accac51da5a7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2bd2e77d-2a41-48b7-b384-82843f73e7d8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-21 15:26:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies active crypto drainer campaign at qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn. This domain poses as a WhatsApp web service to steal cryptocurrency. Flagged by 18 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, hosted at IP 156.234.199.78, registered May 14, 2026 through Dynadot Inc, and already blocked by two security blocklists including OISD and Hagezi. The domain uses a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, giving it a deceptive professional appearance despite its malicious intent. With 18 vendors already detecting malicious activity, the risk level remains high. The domain’s recent creation and multiple security flags indicate an active threat that users must treat with extreme caution. Immediate verification on PhishDestroy is strongly recommended before any interaction, especially for cryptocurrency transactions. Users should avoid accessing qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn entirely due to the clear indicators of malicious intent. If already visited, disconnect from the internet, scan for malware, and review cryptocurrency wallet activity for unauthorized transactions. Report the domain to your security provider and avoid sharing any personal or financial information. Stay vigilant—crypto drainers are evolving, and this domain may be part of a larger campaign targeting WhatsApp users with fake login portals. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260521-F19D2B TLS cert SHA-256: a17be7d49b4db4031ee947be8020b2b5fc582a1b8f9fe74cd3f9e2465c66c28b ## 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/qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=qx-web-whatsapp.com.cn 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.
