vxt-wswhatsapp[.]cc

The domain vxt-wswhatsapp.cc was registered on October 2, 2025 through Dominet (HK) Limited and is currently listed as offline. Infrastructure analysis shows the domain resolves to IP address 103.99.210.141, which is hosted in South Korea and assigned to ASN 205960 (HDTIDC LIMITED). No SSL certificate is present, and the domain is served by four generic nameservers (ns1.domainnamedns.com, ns2.domainnamedns.com, ns3.domainnamedns.com, ns4.domainname). The page title observed in prior crawls reads "whatsapp登不上电脑- 如何启用通知音提醒：确保不错过信息," indicating content written in Chinese and referencing WhatsApp, but the brand target in the intelligence is Facebook, suggesting a cross‑platform impersonation attempt.

The threat is classified as a social media phishing campaign. Detection data show that 18 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag the domain as malicious, and AlienVault OTX has referenced the domain in 16 separate threat‑intel pulses. The domain is also listed on at least one public blocklist and has been actively blocked by the PhishDestroy service. Gridinsoft assigns a trust score of 0 out of 100, reinforcing the malicious assessment.

Defenders should add the IP 103.99.210.141 and the full domain name to outbound and inbound filtering rules, ensure any URL filtering solutions block the domain, and monitor for any future re‑hosting of the same hostnames or similar page titles. Given the offline status, threat actors may attempt to reactivate the domain or deploy variants using the same registrar or hosting provider; continuous watch on the registrar Dominet and the hosting ASN is recommended. Organizations should also educate users about unsolicited messages that reference WhatsApp or Facebook and encourage verification of URLs before entering credentials.
