Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] trending-whatapp.hl.cn Safety Check — Phishing Detected Analysis of the domain trending-whatapp.hl.cn indicates that it remains active as of the report date, July 28, 2026. VirusTotal observations show that 20 out of 91 security vendors have classified the domain as malicious, reflecting a consensus among a minority of scanners. The domain is listed on a single public blocklist and is explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, confirming that defensive feeds recognize it as a threat. An HTTP request to the host returns a 302 redirect response, a behavior often employed to forward victims to a credential‑harvesting page or to evade simple static analysis. No additional infrastructure details such as IP address, autonomous system number, or registrar information are available in the current intelligence set, limiting the depth of infrastructure profiling. The lack of further metadata means that attributing hosting location or identifying related campaign infrastructure cannot be confirmed at this time. Defenders should prioritize the inclusion of trending-whatapp.hl.cn in URL filtering rules across web gateways, DNS security solutions, and endpoint protection suites. Given its presence on an active blocklist and the observed redirect pattern, immediate blocking is advised to prevent potential credential capture attempts. Continuous monitoring of VirusTotal and other threat‑intelligence feeds for changes in detection rates or additional blocklist listings is recommended, as escalation in vendor consensus may indicate expanded malicious activity. Organizations should also consider reviewing outbound traffic logs for any connections to the domain, especially from users accessing messaging services, to identify possible compromise attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 9982516def2c548eb3c00744dfac3b70f3cfb714c9153a97c887dad11e484e69 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/trending-whatapp.hl.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=trending-whatapp.hl.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
