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: 2026-06-30 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:37:07 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 22:13:08 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 04:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 00:02:08 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1999-bd33-720a-97a3-b838cdd60ba5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c95cf811-fea3-4b07-b11a-a7091540e9b9 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/whatsaepp.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.whatsaepp.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=whatsaepp.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/whatsaepp.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/whatsaepp.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 20:55:57 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain whatsaepp.sbs has been identified as a generic phishing threat and is currently active. This domain appears to impersonate the brand WhatsApp, likely aiming to deceive users into divulging sensitive information under false pretenses. Current analysis reveals that the domain is flagged by 20 of 95 VirusTotal vendors, and it is registered through GLOBAL ASSET DOMAINS INC. The domain was created on June 30, 2026, and is resolving to the IP address 191.223.41.220. It appears on two security blocklists, and a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 indicates a high level of distrust. Google Safe Browsing has categorized this domain as involved in social engineering, reinforcing its phishing characterization. Given the current status as active and the high risk level associated with this domain, it is recommended to block access to whatsaepp.sbs across corporate networks and user devices. Additionally, ongoing monitoring should be conducted to detect any emerging threats related to this domain or its infrastructure. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 21/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-016C74 Favicon MD5: b8a0bf372c762e966cc99ede8682bc71 TLS cert SHA-256: 0bd80aad72545a55d7071accd3d32534f9ae15f867c18ef960cd35538c7423b5 ## 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/whatsaepp.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=whatsaepp.sbs 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.
