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: 2026-06-23 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-30 19:29:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-30 22:14:20 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/019f1992-be65-75d9-94c6-8f26e50ba0a7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/391f745c-4ec1-497c-8483-947603698e6f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/ws.page-instant-whatsapp.com.cn crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.ws.page-instant-whatsapp.com.cn Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=ws.page-instant-whatsapp.com.cn AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/ws.page-instant-whatsapp.com.cn URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/ws.page-instant-whatsapp.com.cn/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-30 21:00:23 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active WhatsApp credential phishing site targeting enterprise and retail users. Analysis indicates a high-risk threat vector designed to harvest login credentials through fraudulent messaging and impersonation of legitimate business platforms. The domain presents itself as a wholesale garment supplier, a common tactic to exploit trust in B2B transactions and supply chain communications. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple red flags: the domain ws.page-instant-whatsapp.com.cn was registered on June 23, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, a registrar frequently associated with abusive registrations. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3, which has been linked to other phishing campaigns. Security vendors on VirusTotal detect the domain at 17/95, indicating moderate to high confidence in malicious classification. Additionally, the domain appears on two security blocklists, further corroborating its fraudulent nature. The page title, Global Apparel Group | Premium Garment & Textile Wholesale, suggests a targeted approach to lure professionals in the apparel and logistics sectors. Mitigation steps should focus on credential protection and infrastructure hardening. Organizations should implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all messaging and business applications to mitigate the impact of stolen credentials. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering and IP blocking, should be applied to prevent access to 188.114.96.3 and associated domains. Security teams are advised to monitor for unusual login attempts or phishing emails referencing this domain, particularly those impersonating supply chain partners or wholesale platforms. Employee training should emphasize the risks of credential harvesting through fake business portals, with specific guidance on verifying domain authenticity and reporting suspicious communications. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260630-2300E6 Favicon MD5: 5a1a9c3fe6a387816b391b9867e86f4f TLS cert SHA-256: ccc205933a16c49186b060af19215e48bb61d0ec608c45b203061eae8ba71f83 ## 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.page-instant-whatsapp.com.cn/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=ws.page-instant-whatsapp.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.
