## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-01-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-08 13:22:34 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:19:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis indicates that the domain aagyu.xyz is actively engaged in phishing operations targeting users of cryptocurrency services, specifically impersonating a cross-chain bridge platform. Registered on January 13, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., the domain resolves to the IP address 185.165.169.123. Current infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Python, Flask, and Caddy, alongside Cloudflare services and HTTP/3, suggesting a technically sophisticated setup designed to evade detection and enhance performance.  The domain has been flagged by 7 of 95 security vendors in aggregated threat intelligence feeds, and it appears on three security blocklists, including SEAL, MetaMask, and PhishDestroy. Additionally, it has been referenced in four threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further corroborating its malicious classification. The Gridinsoft trust score of 0/100 reinforces the high-risk assessment associated with this domain.  The page title, 'Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge,' explicitly indicates an attempt to deceive users into believing the site is a legitimate cryptocurrency bridge service. However, the exact mechanics of the phishing scheme—such as whether it employs credential harvesting, wallet-draining scripts, or fraudulent transaction prompts—remain unconfirmed due to the absence of detailed page content analysis. The SSL certificate is issued by Let's Encrypt, a common tactic among threat actors to lend an appearance of legitimacy.  Defenders should prioritize blocking this domain at the DNS and network levels, as it remains active as of July 12, 2026. Organizations are advised to monitor for connections to the IP 185.165.169.123 and correlate logs with known phishing indicators associated with this campaign. Further investigation into the hosting infrastructure may reveal additional domains or IPs linked to the same threat actor.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       cd9f7c8720086c3f29ccf3c9a8c8e49d
TLS cert SHA-256:      50562743f7e8e2dcca8344e0ae347e6e1f8c35c6cc0b84008be80828c1e87b58

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (operator takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
