z1me4.shop is an impersonation phishing page dressed up as WhatsApp, with the browser tab simply reading "WhatsApp". It targets ordinary WhatsApp users, and through them their contacts. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-11. As of 2026-10-19 the domain no longer resolves in DNS, so the page is offline for now. The domain itself can still be pointed at a server again.
How the scam works
Fake WhatsApp pages usually copy the look of the official web login or verification screens. They ask the visitor for a phone number and the SMS verification code, or to scan a QR code that quietly links the attacker's device to the victim's account. Once inside, the operator can read chats and impersonate the victim. A common follow-up is messaging friends and family with urgent requests for money or crypto. The victim loses control of the account, and their contacts become the next targets.
Evidence
Five of 92 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain on 2026-10-12: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Gridinsoft, OpenPhish and SOCRadar. That count is modest, but it includes a dedicated phishing feed. urlscan.io rated the page malicious and recognised the WhatsApp branding on its own. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as phishing, and it appears in five AlienVault OTX threat pulses alongside the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-08-24 through GNAME.COM PTE. LTD. It went live as a phishing page roughly seven weeks before we caught it. That gap suggests the domain was bought ahead of time and held until the campaign was ready. Hosting sat on Tencent's network in Hong Kong at 43.129.237.150. The random-looking name on a cheap .shop extension fits disposable domains that are burned and replaced quickly.
What to do
If you entered a verification code or scanned a QR code on this page, open WhatsApp, go to Linked Devices and log out any session you don't recognise. Then re-verify your number on your own phone and turn on two-step verification with a PIN. Warn your contacts that messages asking for money may not be from you. If you already sent money because of such a message, contact your bank or payment provider. Defenders should block z1me4.shop and the hosting IP. They should also check DNS and proxy logs for visits since 2026-10-11 and remind staff that WhatsApp never asks for codes through a website.
For this gTLD, the registrar above operates under an ICANN accreditation agreement. The links below provide the official fee schedule and current DNS abuse compliance guidance.
Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.

After a phishing incident
Rekomendasi & Saran bagi Para Korban
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
Apa yang harus saya lakukan segera?
Mendesak
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Ubah semua kata sandi — email, akun Exchange, apa pun yang menggunakan kata sandi yang sama
Aktifkan 2FA menggunakan aplikasi otentikator (bukan SMS). Nonaktifkan pemulihan berbasis SMS
Kartu pembeku jika Anda telah memasukkan detail perbankan di situs phishing tersebut
Informasi apa saja yang sebaiknya saya kumpulkan untuk laporan saya?
Pedoman FBI
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Tanggal dan waktu yang tepat — dari setiap transaksi dan kontak pertama dengan penipu
Tangkapan layar — situs web penipuan, pesan obrolan, email, transaksi dompet digital, media sosial
Semua URL & domain digunakan oleh penipu (termasuk z1me4.shop)
Komunikasi — email, pesan teks, nomor telepon, dan nama pengguna yang digunakan oleh penipu tersebut
Meskipun kamu belum mengetahui semua detailnya — tetap saja ajukan laporan. Informasi yang tidak lengkap tetap dapat membantu penyelidikan.
Ke mana saya harus melaporkan penipuan ini?
FBI IC3 — Pusat Pengaduan Kejahatan Internet (Laporan tingkat federal AS)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polisi setempat — membuat catatan resmi, meskipun mereka tidak dapat bertindak segera
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Situs web palsu — salinan yang persis sama dengan situs asli, dengan domain yang sedikit diubah
Pemotongan babi — kepercayaan yang dibangun selama beberapa minggu melalui Telegram/WhatsApp/aplikasi kencan, lalu uangnya dicuri
Penipuan pemulihan — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Penipuan yang didukung oleh kecerdasan buatan — deepfakes, serangan phishing otomatis, dan situs yang dihasilkan oleh kecerdasan buatan (AI) yang membuat penipuan semakin sulit dideteksi
Bagaimana cara saya melindungi diri di masa depan?
Tandai situs resmi — jangan pernah mengklik tautan dari email, pesan langsung (DM), atau iklan
Memverifikasi domain — periksa PhishDestroy Sebelum berinteraksi. Periksa HTTPS, ejaan, dan usia domain
"Terlalu bagus untuk jadi kenyataan" = penipuan — imbal hasil yang dijamin, dukungan dari selebriti, tenggat waktu yang mendesak
