## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:15:32 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, wswaim-whatsapp.hl.cn, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site targeting WhatsApp users, based on its page title and threat classification. Registered on July 11, 2026, through 万商云集（成都）科技股份有限公司, it resolves to IP 104.21.49.20 (Cloudflare, Inc., CA) and uses Cloudflare nameservers (mallory.ns.cloudflare.com, ryan.ns.cloudflare.com). The domain returns an HTTP 200 status and employs HSTS, Cloudflare Browser Insights, and HTTP/3. It appears on one security blocklist, and AlienVault OTX has recorded it in two threat intelligence pulses. Seventeen of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detect it as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services (WE1). Defenders should treat this domain as active and hostile, particularly given its recent registration and association with a known messaging platform. No legitimate WhatsApp service operates under this subdomain structure or Chinese ccTLD. Immediate blocking at DNS and proxy layers is recommended, along with monitoring for internal connections to 104.21.49.20 or related Cloudflare IP ranges. Further analysis of network logs may reveal compromised endpoints or credential theft attempts linked to this infrastructure.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260712-6E9D4E
Favicon MD5:       8a7e51ecc755de991dae7d39b83b20f0
TLS cert SHA-256:      0e77b3ca824945709520b6f219a506ed80eff2a8d809d8be4a8480f96520754e

## 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.
