## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-29 02:56:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain ssl-whatapp.hl.cn is confirmed to be a brand impersonation threat targeting WhatsApp users. It poses a significant risk as it mimics the official WhatsApp web page, potentially tricking users into divulging their login credentials or other sensitive information. This can lead to unauthorized access to personal accounts, data theft, and further malicious activities.

Analysis indicates that the domain was created on June 28, 2026, and is still active. VirusTotal reports that 13 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, suggesting a high level of suspicion among security professionals. The domain is registered through 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司, and it resolves to the IP address 154.206.233.11. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, which is a common practice among phishing sites to gain user trust by displaying a secure connection.

If a user has visited ssl-whatapp.hl.cn, they should immediately change their WhatsApp account password and enable two-factor authentication for an added layer of security. It is also recommended to monitor the account for any unusual activity and to report any suspicious behavior to WhatsApp support. Users should refrain from clicking on suspicious links and verify the authenticity of web pages by checking the domain name and SSL certificate details.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

## 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.
