No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-05-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-07 02:02:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-05-07 05:32:44 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dff85-bb33-727a-9644-434025819861/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-05-07 02:04:46 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn as an active brand impersonation phishing site targeting WhatsApp via a counterfeit Bing search page. The domain employs a deceptive naming convention, combining 'secureproxy' and 'whatsapp' to create false legitimacy, while mimicking Microsoft's Bing search interface to harvest user credentials. Current risk assessment places this domain under active exploitation with a pending confirmation status, signaling imminent threat potential to unsuspecting users. The combination of a recently registered domain, low detection rates, and high-risk impersonation tactics warrants immediate defensive action. Technical indicators reveal a sophisticated setup: the domain resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and utilizes a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, adding superficial trustworthiness. Registered through 成都垦派科技有限公司 on May 03, 2026, the domain has evaded detection thus far, with VirusTotal showing 0/95 detections and no presence on blocklists. The page title 'Search - Microsoft Bing' further underscores its attempt to masquerade as a legitimate Microsoft service, leveraging brand recognition to deceive users into surrendering sensitive information. Mitigation steps for this WhatsApp brand impersonation phishing threat must prioritize immediate domain blocking and user awareness. Organizations should add secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn to DNS and proxy blocklists, alongside the associated IP 188.114.96.3, to prevent access. Security teams should deploy browser-based warnings for Bing search redirects and educate users on verifying domain legitimacy, especially when encountering unexpected Bing interfaces. Given the domain's low detection rate and active status, proactive hunting for similar impersonation domains is critical to prevent credential theft and downstream compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: bda49766e2e7e028ef09d0e34988ecdf TLS cert SHA-256: 28e16adb5047c88359cc5c35e2b7fb4997a436f2c140079ca5017d6d5c9b91eb ## 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/secureproxy-whatsapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=secureproxy-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.
