Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] whatsapp.nr.hl.cn: Confirmed Phishing Site The domain whatsapp.nr.hl.cn was registered on February 28, 2026 by 成都垦派科技有限公司 and is currently active. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 154.195.71.89, with authoritative name servers ns1.kenpains.com and ns2.kenpains.com. The public page title observed is "WhatsApp网页版 - 畅聊无界限," indicating an attempt to lure victims with a Chinese-language reference to WhatsApp Web. Threat intelligence sources classify the site as a generic phishing operation and assign a high risk rating. VirusTotal analysis shows that 12 of 91 security vendors flagged the domain, confirming malicious behavior. The domain is listed on a single security blocklist and has been explicitly blocked by the PhishDestroy service, reinforcing the assessment of active abuse. While the underlying hosting provider, geographic location of the IP, and TLS certificate details are not disclosed in the available data, the combination of recent registration, targeted name‑server configuration, and multiple vendor detections suggests a purpose‑built phishing infrastructure rather than an incidental compromise. Defenders should immediately block DNS resolution for whatsapp.nr.hl.cn and any traffic to 154.195.71.89 at perimeter devices. Adding the domain to internal URL filtering, email gateway, and endpoint protection blocklists will reduce exposure. Continuous monitoring of DNS query logs for the domain and its name servers is advised, as well as periodic re‑scans on VirusTotal or similar platforms to capture any changes in detection status. Organizations that rely on WhatsApp services should educate users about unsolicited login prompts and enforce multi‑factor authentication where possible. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260726-822893 Favicon MD5: b70e6078004aeb5146c635cc4c8af761 TLS cert SHA-256: 85411247484c9b60435777d1b899553927c1a6bc3ff5b4a0eb53e317e029f5ed ## 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.nr.hl.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=whatsapp.nr.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.
