chat-whaptssap.lat is a domain on the PhishDestroy blocklist whose page is titled "HOT VIDEOS 18+ 😈". The name reads like a scrambled spelling of WhatsApp with "chat" in front, which suggests it targets people who receive links in messaging apps. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-10-07. As of 2026-10-19 the site was still online and serving content.
How the scam works
The page title shows an adult-content lure, while the domain name points to a chat app. That mismatch is common in link-bait traps. Pages like this typically promise explicit videos and then push the visitor to log in, verify an account, scan a code, install something or pay before anything plays. The evidence does not show which of these this site uses. The realistic risks are a hijacked messaging account, harvested personal details or an unwanted download, not access to any promised content.
Evidence
Six of 92 VirusTotal engines flag the domain: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft, Kaspersky and SOCRadar, as of 2026-10-19. That is a low count, but several of these vendors run their own threat feeds, so they reached the verdict independently. The domain also appears in three AlienVault OTX pulses, which means other researchers have grouped it with tracked malicious activity. Among blocklists, it is currently listed by PhishDestroy only.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through NAMECHEAP INC on 2026-08-28, about 40 days before PhishDestroy picked it up. It resolves to 104.219.248.238 on Namecheap, Inc. network space in the US. Cheap gTLDs such as .lat on shared hosting allow quick, disposable setups. A domain that is still live several weeks after first detection is likely being actively shared.
What to do
Do not open links to this domain, even when they arrive from a contact, because compromised accounts are often used to forward them. If you entered a phone number, verification code or password, change the password right away and turn on two-step verification in your messaging app. Then check the app's linked-devices list and log out any session you don't recognize. If you downloaded anything, delete it and run a malware scan. If you paid, contact your card issuer. Defenders should block the domain and its IP at DNS and proxy level and search mail and chat logs for any user clicks.
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.

After a phishing incident
Recomendações e orientações para as vítimas
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
O que devo fazer agora mesmo?
Urgente
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Alterar todas as senhas — e-mail, contas do Exchange, qualquer coisa que use a mesma senha
Ativar a autenticação de dois fatores usando um aplicativo autenticador (não por SMS). Desative a recuperação por SMS
Cartões de congelamento se você inseriu dados bancários no site de phishing
Que informações devo coletar para o meu relatório?
Diretrizes do 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.
Datas e horários exatos — de cada transação e do primeiro contato com o golpista
Capturas de tela — sites fraudulentos, mensagens de bate-papo, e-mails, transações em carteiras digitais, redes sociais
Todas as URLs e domínios utilizado pelo golpista (incluindo chat-whaptssap.lat)
Comunicações — e-mails, mensagens de texto, números de telefone e nomes de usuário que o golpista utilizou
Mesmo que você não tenha todos os detalhes — registre uma ocorrência mesmo assim. Mesmo informações parciais ainda ajudam nas investigações.
A quem devo denunciar o golpe?
FBI IC3 — Centro de Denúncias de Crimes na Internet (sistema federal de denúncias dos EUA)
Europol — Relatórios sobre crimes cibernéticos na Europa (UE)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Polícia local — cria um registro oficial, mesmo que não possam agir imediatamente
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?
Sites falsos — clones idênticos, até o último pixel, de sites legítimos, com domínios ligeiramente alterados
Abate de suínos — confiança construída ao longo de semanas pelo Telegram, WhatsApp e aplicativos de namoro; em seguida, o dinheiro foi roubado
Golpes relacionados à recuperação — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
Golpes baseados em IA — deepfakes, phishing automatizado e sites gerados por IA, o que torna a fraude mais difícil de detectar
Como posso me proteger no futuro?
Adicione os sites oficiais aos favoritos — nunca clique em links de e-mails, mensagens diretas ou anúncios
Verificar domínios — verificar PhishDestroy antes de interagir. Verifique se o site usa HTTPS, a ortografia e a idade do domínio
"Bom demais para ser verdade" = golpe — retornos garantidos, endossos de celebridades, prazos urgentes
