Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is whatsapper.leadball.ru a phishing site? The domain whatsapper.leadball.ru is currently classified as a high‑risk generic phishing infrastructure and remains active as of the report date, 30 July 2026. Registration data shows the domain was created on 7 November 2018 and is registered through REGRU‑RU, a Russian registrar. Authoritative name servers are ns1.hosting.reg.ru and ns2.hosting.reg.ru, indicating the domain is hosted on the REG.RU platform. DNS resolution points to the address 37.140.192.61, which is the sole IP observed for this domain in the available intelligence. The IP belongs to a hosting range often associated with malicious campaigns, but no further geolocation or ASN details are supplied in the source data. Threat‑intel feeds have listed the domain on two public phishing blocklists: PhishDestroy and OpenPhish. VirusTotal scans have returned 17 positive detections out of 91 submitted security vendors, confirming that multiple independent scanners flag the domain as malicious. No additional context such as Safe Browsing verdicts, OTX indicators, SSL certificate details, HTTP response codes, trust‑score metrics, page‑title content, or evidence‑link artifacts have been disclosed, leaving those aspects of the analysis indeterminate. Given the presence on reputable blocklists, the multi‑vendor detection count, and the active status of the domain, defenders should treat any traffic to or from whatsapper.leadball.ru as potentially hostile. Recommended mitigation steps include adding the domain and its associated IP address to network‑level deny lists, configuring web‑proxy and DNS filtering solutions to block resolution, and monitoring for any outbound connections that may indicate compromised internal hosts attempting to communicate with the infrastructure. Continuous re‑evaluation is advised, as further intelligence such as SSL fingerprinting or HTTP payload analysis could refine the risk posture. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260730-125429 Favicon MD5: c5088e888c97ad440a61d247596f88e5 TLS cert SHA-256: 9d042b0a7a2077abc6ce1ffaf67fbd5acd54cc47730a6e880dce31ee53b5a101 ## 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/whatsapper.leadball.ru/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=whatsapper.leadball.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
