whts[.]co

Analysis of the domain whts.co shows a clear alignment with known phishing infrastructure. The domain is registered through Gandi SAS and was created on September 12, 2017; its registration remains active. DNS resolution points to the IPv4 address 3.160.150.67 and the domain is served by four Amazon Route 53 nameservers (ns-1131.awsdns-13.org, ns-1681.awsdns-18.co.uk, ns-457.awsdns-57.com, ns-680.awsdns).

Independent threat intelligence feeds have listed whts.co on two security blocklists, specifically PhishDestroy and OpenPhish, indicating that the domain is already recognized as malicious by reputable anti‑phishing services. A VirusTotal scan involving 95 antivirus and URL‑reputation vendors was performed, and none of the vendors raised a detection at the time of analysis; however, the absence of a detection does not constitute evidence of safety. No public SSL certificate details, HTTP status codes, or page‑title information are available in the current data set, leaving the surface‑web characteristics of the site unverified.

The lack of additional contextual signals such as brand targeting, page content, or known phishing kits limits the depth of the content‑level assessment, but the infrastructure signals alone satisfy the criteria for a confirmed phishing operation. Defenders should continue to block whts.co at network perimeter controls, add the domain to local blocklists, and monitor the associated IP address for any anomalous traffic patterns. Ongoing reconnaissance is advised to capture any future changes to the site’s hosting, TLS deployment, or content that could refine the threat profile.
