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: 2026-02-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-05-28 15:25:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-05-28 12:27:21 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:29:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019e6e88-4934-73b4-882f-9c3729787143/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7c37b175-4133-42ab-ba85-d2fc7829a044 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/web.whatsapp.gv.hl.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.web.whatsapp.gv.hl.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=web.whatsapp.gv.hl.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/web.whatsapp.gv.hl.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/web.whatsapp.gv.hl.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 04:30:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a generic phishing threat with an elevated risk level. Analysis indicates it specifically impersonates WhatsApp Web to harvest user credentials through a fraudulent login interface, a common tactic in credential theft campaigns. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on February 28, 2026, through 成都垦派科技有限公司, a registrar frequently associated with phishing operations. It resolves to IP address 172.104.99.107 and is currently offline. The site was detected by 23 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on one security blocklist. Technical indicators include the use of Let's Encrypt SSL certificates, Cloudflare hosting, Nginx web server, and front-end frameworks such as Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Lodash, and jQuery. The page title explicitly mimics WhatsApp Web, reinforcing its deceptive purpose. Users and administrators should treat this domain as malicious. Immediate mitigation steps include blocking the domain and its associated IP (172.104.99.107) at network perimeter devices. Endpoints should be scanned for exposure to the domain, particularly in browser history or email links. Security teams should review logs for connections to the IP or domain to identify compromised accounts. Credential resets are recommended for any users who accessed the site. Monitoring for similar domains using the same registrar or hosting patterns is advised to preempt further phishing attempts. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260528-C41747 Favicon MD5: b70e6078004aeb5146c635cc4c8af761 TLS cert SHA-256: b5addfe6ac1196297b344c66e67f76a0e08eae8a84f50298224379b312a898e5 ## 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.whatsapp.gv.hl.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=web.whatsapp.gv.hl.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.
