Investigation Brief
The domain mimics the legitimate WhatsApp Web service (web.whatsapp.com) and is flagged by 10 security engines as malicious or phishing. The site is currently unreachable, so its exact current content could not be reviewed, but historical evidence shows it has been used for social-engineering attacks that harvest credentials.
Security detections and historical use
Nine independent antivirus families and ten engines on the multi-engine malware scan classify the domain as malicious or phishing.
Research records show the domain was used to clone the official WhatsApp Web QR-code login page for credential-harvesting attacks.
Site availability and domain age
The site currently times out, so its live content, contact details, and policies could not be examined.
The domain is over twelve years old, which is a neutral factor given the strong security-engine detections.
Why the score is 15
9 independent antivirus families reported an adverse result. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
