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: 2023-08-22 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:39:23 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 22:12:50 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-01 12:20:36 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/019f199c-1813-72c6-b61a-529ef74b4d8f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/96096850-005d-4090-bafc-c7c7a790ee23 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/whatsappbutton.ru crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.whatsappbutton.ru Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=whatsappbutton.ru AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/whatsappbutton.ru URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/whatsappbutton.ru/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 20:54:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] whatsappbutton.ru is classified as high risk due to its involvement in credential theft phishing schemes. The domain is active and designed to impersonate legitimate brand interactions, specifically targeting users seeking WhatsApp button generators, increasing the likelihood of sensitive information exposure. Technical analysis reveals several actionable indicators: VirusTotal flags the domain by 14 out of 95 vendors. The domain resolves to IP address 45.130.41.247 and was registered through REGRU-RU on August 22, 2023. It is blocked on two major security blocklists and has a Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt. AlienVault OTX has also included this domain in one threat intelligence pulse, further confirming its malicious status. To mitigate the risk, users and network administrators should immediately block whatsappbutton.ru at both network and endpoint levels. Email security filters should be updated to recognize indicators related to this domain. Due to its credential theft focus, personnel should be warned against entering account information on lookalike pages and multi-factor authentication should be enforced wherever possible. Regular monitoring for associated IP and domain artifacts is recommended. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 16/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-EE27B8 Favicon MD5: 5a1a9c3fe6a387816b391b9867e86f4f TLS cert SHA-256: cfee4dd43e623cba79b0de9acf6ef135730a42cb885a9a0a77a33dfa92294634 ## 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/whatsappbutton.ru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=whatsappbutton.ru 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.
