Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The risk level associated with the domain validatewhatsapp.hstn.me is classified as high due to its nature as a generic phishing threat. This domain is currently active and is known to attempt to deceive users into divulging sensitive information, commonly through methods associated with phishing tactics. Analysis of technical data reveals that validatewhatsapp.hstn.me is registered through Porkbun LLC and resolves to the IP address 185.27.134.142. It was created on June 03, 2019. VirusTotal reports that 15 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain, indicating a significant presence on threat intelligence platforms. The domain employs a ZeroSSL GmbH SSL certificate, and its infrastructure makes use of technologies such as PHP, Tailwind CSS, LiteSpeed, and Cloudflare, with HTTP/3 capabilities, potentially masking its true origins. To mitigate the risks associated with the phishing activities tied to validatewhatsapp.hstn.me, it is essential to implement best practices for user awareness. Users should be trained to recognize common phishing indicators, such as unexpected requests for sensitive information. Additionally, organizations should utilize security solutions that block access to flagged domains based on threat intelligence sources, including multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security for sensitive accounts. Regular audits and updates to security protocols can assist in minimizing exposure to similar threats. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260712-2B1A2D TLS cert SHA-256: 1e2c8714d47dce6eafc2854639e0b55c01c8f6acdb41a795a6a7e8f6a556e93c ## 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/validatewhatsapp.hstn.me/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=validatewhatsapp.hstn.me 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.
