## 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: 2026-06-18 16:52:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies web-login-whatsapp-hl.com.cn as a credential phishing domain targeting WhatsApp users, utilizing a fake login page to steal user credentials, with no apparent drainer kit involved. 

This domain was flagged by 19 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, has an IP address of 156.234.199.78, was created on May 21, 2026, and is marked as phishing by Google Safe Browsing, additionally appearing on 1 security blocklist, all indicating a high-risk profile. 

Currently, web-login-whatsapp-hl.com.cn is offline, likely taken down in response to the high threat it posed, however, users should remain cautious as similar domains may emerge, and it is crucial to verify the authenticity of websites before entering sensitive information, especially considering the domain's previous ability to obtain an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt, which could have misled some users into trusting the site

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      b2fc72d7c8a1a247f0a98ff606a049b86b248919f8f8c06b1c312163b9fb5fc6

## 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.
