MT Intelligence
The site is hosted on a subdomain of seedgrow.net and is being used to impersonate WhatsApp. Our antivirus network shows a high consensus of 16 different security engines flagging the URL as phishing or malicious. While the root domain is older, this specific subdomain lacks any legitimate business registration or global traffic ranking. The use of 'whatsapp-u' in the URL is a classic deceptive tactic to trick users into thinking they are on an official platform. Given the high detection rate from reputable providers like Emsisoft and CyRadar, the site is a confirmed threat.
