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 62%· claude-opus-5

The name dns-whatsapp.com incorporates the WhatsApp brand with no plausible legitimate use by a third party, yet serves no content of its own — it bounces visitors to yahoo.com, a common holding/cloaking behaviour while infrastructure is staged (custom kenpains.com nameservers). No deceptive page is present yet, so this is a brand-squat rather than an active phish.

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

Domain dns-whatsapp.com is a WhatsApp brand-squat that redirects to Yahoo's legitimate homepage. The typosquat name combined with nameservers (kenpains.com) unrelated to either WhatsApp or Yahoo indicates this is a parked redirect domain designed to exploit WhatsApp brand recognition, not a legitimate service or authorized redirect.
