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. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:33:12 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 22:11:59 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 08:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1996-757b-772d-906c-2fcd5d2a884c/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 19:36:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn, operates as a fraudulent WhatsApp Web download portal targeting Chinese-speaking users. The site presents itself as an official entry point for WhatsApp Web, offering installation guides and download links under the title '玩刷 WhatsApp 网页版 | 下載入口與安装指南.' Analysis indicates the domain is designed to distribute malicious payloads or harvest credentials by mimicking legitimate WhatsApp services, a tactic commonly associated with brand impersonation phishing campaigns. The use of localized language and familiar branding elements increases the likelihood of successful deception among users seeking legitimate WhatsApp Web access. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered on June 26, 2026, through 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and is flagged by 17 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, including detections for phishing and malicious content. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, does not mitigate the domain's fraudulent intent. These technical indicators confirm the domain's active role in phishing operations. Users who have visited wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn or interacted with its content should take immediate action. Disconnect the device from the network and perform a full antivirus scan to detect potential malware or credential theft tools. Reset credentials for any accounts accessed while the device was compromised, particularly WhatsApp and associated email accounts. Monitor financial transactions and enable multi-factor authentication on all critical services. Organizations should block the domain and its resolving IP at the network level to prevent further exposure. Reporting the domain to local cybersecurity authorities or threat intelligence platforms can aid in broader mitigation efforts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-CAF103 Favicon MD5: 8a7e51ecc755de991dae7d39b83b20f0 TLS cert SHA-256: d4375038c753189b7e19f569de47535306ad3d01575891d951c412fecad5d17d ## 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/wanshua-whatsapp.hk.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wanshua-whatsapp.hk.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.
