## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-18 23:57:27 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies wis-whatsapp.com.cn as a high-risk phishing domain engaged in brand impersonation targeting Discord. Despite its misleading page title referencing WhatsApp Web, the primary threat lies in deceiving users to compromise their credentials or install malware.

Supporting evidence includes its registration on January 5, 2026, through a Chinese registrar 厦门三五互联信息有限公司 and its resolution to a suspicious IP address 156.252.44.5. The domain appeared in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses, is listed on one security blocklist, and was flagged by 20 out of 95 VirusTotal security scanners. Additionally, Gridinsoft assigned it a zero trust score, reflecting high suspicion levels. All these indicators confirm malicious intent tied to aggressive brand impersonation tactics.

Currently, wis-whatsapp.com.cn has been taken offline, which temporarily mitigates the risk to users. However, users must remain vigilant to similar phishing attempts exploiting popular brands like Discord. PhishDestroy recommends avoiding interaction with unsolicited links and using robust endpoint protections to defend against credential theft and malware infection associated with such phishing infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260105-58ABA6
Favicon SHA-256:       20ce7e373448ca2a51d95f60fc906f57cc27d103a6bba4e33be3453f7b23b98e

## 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.
