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: 2026-06-20 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-21 14:16:35 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-21 12:20:30 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-26 08:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-22 00:02:43 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eea1b-5f50-77d9-8e21-b1ed66476ebe/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/c229e097-e182-47f5-bf8d-eeaf9765ee06 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-22 23:26:44 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.cn, which mimics WhatsApp's web interface, is flagged by 18 out of 91 VirusTotal vendors. This phishing site was hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure, with an IP address located in the United States. The registrar for this domain is 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司. The domain, created on June 20, 2026, was first detected by PhishDestroy the following day. Despite its brief online presence, the domain managed to attract significant attention due to its high platform risk score of 88 out of 100. The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services, adding a layer of deceptive legitimacy. The page title, "WhatsApp 网页版：高清視頻通話," suggests it targeted Chinese-speaking users by promising high-definition video calls through a fake WhatsApp web interface. Currently, the domain is offline, and it is included in one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's. The swift takedown of the site likely curtailed its potential impact, but its initial detection highlights the ongoing threat of phishing domains exploiting popular brands like WhatsApp. The early detection and subsequent inclusion in blocklists demonstrate the effectiveness of proactive threat intelligence efforts in mitigating phishing risks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260621-52138C Favicon MD5: 8a7e51ecc755de991dae7d39b83b20f0 TLS cert SHA-256: 0089519ffadb9089703b38c13c49140f3ae576857443679ef9e7f9d484feec34 ## 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/wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wqsn-web-whatsapp.hk.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
