## Stored PhishDestroy analysis

Overview
PhishDestroy listed web-wa-whatsapp.com as a suspicious domain after detecting multiple security signals. The recorded page title was “Preparing Secure Connection…”. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-27 and an HTTP 200 response was recorded on that date.

How the scam works
The detections are consistent with a generic phishing impersonation of WhatsApp, where an attacker could present a login‑like interface to harvest credentials or verification codes. No specific malicious behavior was observed on the captured page, so the risk remains at the category level.

Evidence
VirusTotal reported five detections from ninety‑two engines on 2026-10-27, with three vendors (G-Data, LevelBlue, Webroot) marking the domain as malicious and two as suspicious. Google Safe Browsing checked on 2026-10-27 did not flag the domain. URLScan captured the site on 2026-10-27, assigning a malicious verdict with a score of 100, categorising it as phishing and linking it to the WhatsApp brand. External blocklists MetaMask and SEAL listed the domain on 2026-10-27. OTX recorded three pulses mentioning the domain on the same day. The intake reason noted a redirector to prv8xs.gm-whatsappt.com that VirusTotal flagged.

Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-10-25 through Guizhou Zhongyu Zhike Network Technology Co., Ltd. The recorded DNS records listed A addresses 104.21.27.69 and 172.67.169.9 and AAAA addresses 2606:4700:3035::ac43:a909 and 2606:4700:3037::6815:1b45. The site presented a TLS certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt / YE2, valid from 2026-10-25 to 2027-01-23, and was served behind Cloudflare.

What to do
Visitors should avoid entering any WhatsApp credentials or verification codes on this site; if they have already done so, they should reset their account access through official WhatsApp channels. Security teams should block web-wa-whatsapp.com at the network perimeter, monitor outbound connections to the recorded IPs, and review authentication logs for unexpected WhatsApp login attempts.
