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: 2026-06-25 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-29 15:20:16 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-29 13:31:17 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-13 00:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 18:17:40 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1388-7266-7388-9866-ad51a5b02694/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/de5fb7e4-a6b1-4f75-9d44-7ffef9957416 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web-whatapp-com.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web-whatapp-com.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web-whatapp-com.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web-whatapp-com.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web-whatapp-com.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-29 15:26:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, web-whatapp-com.cn, is actively engaged in a high-risk phishing operation targeting users of a widely used messaging platform. Analysis indicates the site masquerades as an official WhatsApp login portal, presenting a fraudulent interface designed to harvest user credentials, authentication codes, and personal information. The page title, 'WhatsApp_官网tsApp扫码登录入口_安卓/苹果/PC多端再费下载,' explicitly references WhatsApp login methods and multi-platform downloads, a common tactic to lure victims into entering sensitive data under false pretenses. The inclusion of Chinese characters and references to Android, Apple, and PC platforms suggests a targeted approach to users across multiple devices, increasing the potential victim pool and the likelihood of successful credential theft. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple technical indicators supporting the classification of this domain as malicious. The domain was registered on June 25, 2026, through Web Commerce Communications Limited, a registrar frequently associated with suspicious or fraudulent domains. It resolves to the IP address 172.67.191.141, which is part of a content delivery network known to host both legitimate and malicious content, complicating detection efforts. According to VirusTotal, 8 out of 95 security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious, with detections specifically identifying it as a phishing site. Additionally, Google Safe Browsing has classified the domain under the 'SOCIAL_ENGINEERING' category, further corroborating its use in deceptive practices. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, provides a veneer of legitimacy, which may mislead users into trusting the site despite its fraudulent intent. Users who have visited web-whatapp-com.cn or entered any information on the site should take immediate action to mitigate potential risks. First, any credentials entered on the site should be considered compromised and changed immediately across all platforms where the same or similar passwords are used. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enabled on all critical accounts to add an additional layer of security. Users are advised to scan their devices for malware or unwanted software, as phishing sites may also distribute malicious payloads. If financial or personally identifiable information was entered, monitoring for signs of identity theft or unauthorized transactions is recommended. Finally, reporting the domain to relevant cybersecurity organizations and the messaging platform's official abuse channels can aid in takedown efforts and prevent further victimization. Given the domain's active status and high-risk classification, continued vigilance is essential to avoid falling prey to this or similar phishing schemes. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260629-516FF7 Favicon MD5: 704b06004a3879651f5a4002c606115d TLS cert SHA-256: d6962912d41f01658a90db8d28d6b523f718807b4ef4190cb05e46ecf93ac8b9 ## 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/web-whatapp-com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web-whatapp-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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
