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 opinionsuspicioustarget: WhatsAppconfidence 62%· claude-opus-5

Domain contains the WhatsApp brand it does not own, serves no content of its own, and instead redirects offsite to www.yahoo.com — a typical placeholder/cloaking posture for a newly registered brand-squat awaiting deployment (the form and branding shown belong to Yahoo, not this domain). The 'poc-' prefix and Chinese retail registrar keep intent ambiguous, so evidence is not yet decisive for phishing.

First passlooks like abuseconfidence 95%· claude-haiku-4-5

Domain 'poc-whatsapp.com' is a typosquat of WhatsApp using a brand name it does not own, registered with a suspicious registrar (Guizhou Zhongyu Zhike) and resolved via non-standard nameservers (kenpains.com). The redirect to Yahoo.com is a decoy; the domain's only plausible purpose is to capture traffic intended for WhatsApp through name confusion, making it a clear brand-squat.
