whatapps.hk.cn: Confirmed WhatsApp Credential Phishing Site

Analysis of the domain whatapps.hk.cn indicates a high-risk phishing operation targeting WhatsApp users. The domain was registered on July 15, 2026, through 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司, three days prior to this report. It resolves to IP address 172.67.163.162 and uses Cloudflare nameservers (clint.ns.cloudflare.com and leah.ns.cloudflare.com), a common tactic to obscure hosting origin and evade takedowns. Security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, with 14 of 91 engines detecting malicious activity as of the latest scan. The domain remains active, and no legitimate use case has been identified. Defenders should treat this domain as hostile infrastructure and prioritize blocking or monitoring access to it. The specific phishing kit or payload is not yet analyzed, but the domain name suggests an intent to harvest WhatsApp credentials or distribute malware under the guise of the messaging service. Further investigation into associated IP ranges and registration patterns is recommended to identify related threat infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260718-ECB0A7
Favicon MD5:       0d5b38c21ddc5bca9707b092e06183cf
TLS cert SHA-256:      2d02337fa7713242fa35c2dfaf603128dfd45c31e2dbad205c75976accc810d8

## 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.
