Signals, not verdicts. A domain appears here because heuristics matched its name, its infrastructure or the page it served on its first day. Where a model has looked at it, that is shown as an opinion with a confidence, not as a finding. Nothing on this page says a site is malicious. Read the evidence and decide for yourself.

Model opinions

Second opinionlooks like abusetarget: WhatsAppconfidence 80%· claude-opus-5-5

The name pairs the distinctive WhatsApp brand with 'coreauth' authentication language, and the domain serves no page of its own. It bounces visitors to an unrelated decoy (yahoo.com) via xundns nameservers, a cloaking shape typical of a staged brand-squat for credential phishing; the Yahoo search form is the destination's, not this domain's.

First passlooks like phishingtarget: WhatsAppconfidence 92%· claude-haiku-4-5

Domain coreauth-whatsapp.com impersonates WhatsApp in its name ('coreauth-whatsapp') and redirects to Yahoo's homepage—a classic redirect phish pattern designed to obscure the deception. The domain name explicitly claims WhatsApp authority ('coreauth' suggests core authentication), but serves no WhatsApp content; this misdirection is typical of credential-harvesting campaigns that use brand names to lure victims before redirecting them offsite.
