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: 2025-10-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-10-22 11:08:09 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 15:27:55 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019a0b9a-652a-7024-ab43-71f7f103900e/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web-ob-whatsapp.com.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web-ob-whatsapp.com.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web-ob-whatsapp.com.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web-ob-whatsapp.com.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web-ob-whatsapp.com.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-23 14:05:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This site, web-ob-whatsapp.com.cn, impersonates the WhatsApp brand under the page title "WhatsApp网页版 - 官方入口" and is categorized as a social media scam. It poses a threat by presenting a fraudulent official portal to deceive users into providing credentials or personal information, potentially leading to account compromise or further phishing attacks. Technical evidence shows the domain is flagged by 19 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, including ADMINUSLabs, Criminal IP, alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, and BitDefender, and appears on 2 blocklists. The domain is registered with 厦门三五互联信息有限公司, created on 2025-10-21, and hosted on IP 45.195.124.112 (Hong Kong, AS400619 AROSSCLOUD INC.). It uses Let's Encrypt SSL certificate R13 and nameservers ns1.35.net and ns2.35.net. The site is currently offline, with a GridinSoft trust score of 0/100 and a DOM risk score of 10, indicating a high-risk, malicious domain. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 19/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 301bd9f16f94feedfae7a946a14bac38cb73c43efe6117bc5586835af03d7d6f TLS cert SHA-256: 2f83cea2399704545fc551e8993b79063d512de3b0defeede26d4a19184af789 ## 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/web-ob-whatsapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web-ob-whatsapp.com.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.
