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 58%· claude-opus-5

sonar-whatsapp.com carries the WhatsApp mark with no content of its own — it simply bounces visitors to www.yahoo.com, a classic placeholder/cloak for a newly registered brand-squat awaiting activation (the name pattern also matches 'WhatsApp tracker/sonar' stalkerware lures). The Yahoo page, forms and links are the destination's, not this domain's, so there is no impersonation attempt yet, but the unauthorised brand name plus throwaway nameservers and a bulk retail registrar leave no plausible

First passlooks like abuseconfidence 92%· claude-haiku-4-5

The domain sonar-whatsapp.com is a WhatsApp typosquat that redirects to Yahoo's legitimate homepage. The typosquat name combined with redirect-to-unrelated-site infrastructure (nameservers kenpains.com, registrar known for abuse) is classic brand-squat abuse. No actual impersonation occurs on the destination page, but the domain's sole purpose—trading on WhatsApp's brand to redirect traffic—is deceptive squat behavior.
