Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies ws-whatapp.com.cn as a high-risk domain due to its brand impersonation threat, specifically targeting Microsoft. This domain poses an elevated risk to users who may unknowingly interact with it, potentially compromising their sensitive information. The domain ws-whatapp.com.cn was created on May 20, 2026, and is registered through 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司, with an IP address of 188.114.96.3. Notably, 12 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag this domain, and it appears on 1 security blocklist, further indicating its malicious nature. The domain's use of a Let's Encrypt / E8 SSL certificate may attempt to convey a sense of legitimacy, but its overall trust score is compromised by these red flags. To mitigate the risks associated with ws-whatapp.com.cn, users should exercise extreme caution when encountering domains that impersonate well-known brands like Microsoft. It is essential to verify the authenticity of websites before interacting with them, especially when prompted to enter sensitive information. PhishDestroy recommends checking the domain's URL for spelling mistakes, searching for reviews or feedback from other users, and being wary of sites that ask for personal or financial details. By taking these precautions, users can significantly reduce their exposure to brand impersonation threats like ws-whatapp.com.cn, which has since been taken offline. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260522-945F8D TLS cert SHA-256: 78027ba461336d57b06a61d1ddb2ea2977cc952bad5a99c4ed976df65ff82fee ## 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/ws-whatapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ws-whatapp.com.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.
