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: 2026-07-07 14:24:29 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-17 12:20:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f3c87-f1b2-777c-8d90-d07b6d904cab/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/whatsapp.ig.hl.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.whatsapp.ig.hl.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=whatsapp.ig.hl.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/whatsapp.ig.hl.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/whatsapp.ig.hl.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 14:59:31 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain whatsapp.ig.hl.cn is identified as a high-risk credential theft site targeting users of the WhatsApp messaging service. The page title found - "WhatsApp网页版 - 完整指南与使用方法" - indicates the site's intent to impersonate the brand and trick users into entering sensitive information. No specific drainer kit has been associated with this domain at this time. Technical indicators of concern include a VirusTotal detection score of 12/95, indicating that a significant number of security vendors have flagged this domain as malicious. The domain was registered through 成都垦派科技有限公司 and was created on February 28, 2026. It resolves to the IP address 154.206.236.10. Currently, the Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status for this domain is not indicated, but it has been detected by several blocklists due to its phishing characteristics. Currently, the domain remains active, suggesting ongoing phishing operations. Due to the high-risk assessment, it is advisable for users to avoid interaction with this domain. Organizations should consider implementing proactive measures, such as blocking access to the IP address and educating users on the risks of phishing to mitigate potential security breaches. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: b70e6078004aeb5146c635cc4c8af761 TLS cert SHA-256: 2af239dc9b7870672d57ce68876cf38137801081069d0f6f0d2df7a87e553288 ## 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/whatsapp.ig.hl.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=whatsapp.ig.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
