## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Crypto Drainer

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Kaspersky
URLQuery:        -1 detections
Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.165.169.123 (RO, Bucharest)
ASN:             AS200651 FlokiNET ehf

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-01-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

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: 2026-07-08 15:01:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, api-swap-wagyu.xyz, operates as a crypto drainer phishing endpoint designed to compromise digital wallet credentials and execute unauthorized token transfers. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate cryptocurrency swap interfaces, tricking users into connecting wallets to malicious smart contracts that automatically drain funds upon authorization. The threat specifically targets users of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, exploiting trust in swap services to facilitate immediate financial theft.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on January 15, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., and currently resolves to IP address 185.165.169.123. VirusTotal detection shows 3 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, a low but significant indicator given the targeted nature of crypto drainers. The domain remains active and unblocked by most major security providers, suggesting it may still be in the early stages of deployment or evading detection through obfuscation techniques.  Users who have visited api-swap-wagyu.xyz or connected a wallet to the site should immediately revoke all smart contract approvals using a blockchain explorer or wallet security tool. Affected wallets should be considered compromised, and remaining funds should be transferred to a new, secure wallet address. Monitor transaction history for unauthorized transfers and report any suspicious activity to relevant blockchain security platforms. Enable hardware wallet protections and multi-factor authentication for future transactions to mitigate similar threats.

## 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.
