Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, awagyu.xyz, operates as a credential theft site designed to harvest login credentials for financial services, including banking and investment platforms. Analysis indicates the site presents fraudulent authentication portals that mimic legitimate institutions, tricking users into entering sensitive account details. The infrastructure is optimized for rapid deployment and evasion, with minimal detectable artifacts in initial scans. Evidence confirms the domain's malicious intent through multiple technical indicators. VirusTotal reports 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging awagyu.xyz as malicious, a low but notable detection rate suggestive of newer or obfuscated threats. The domain was registered on January 13, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., a registrar frequently associated with short-lived phishing domains. It currently resolves to the IP address 185.165.169.123, an address previously linked to other credential theft campaigns. The combination of recent registration, low initial detection, and known malicious infrastructure underscores the high-risk nature of this threat. Users who have visited awagyu.xyz or entered credentials on the site should assume their login details have been compromised. Immediate actions include changing passwords for all potentially affected accounts, particularly those tied to financial services. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all critical accounts to mitigate unauthorized access. Monitor accounts for suspicious activity, such as unauthorized transactions or login attempts from unfamiliar locations. If financial information was entered, contact the relevant institution to report potential fraud and request account monitoring. Additionally, scan local devices for malware, as credential theft sites may deploy secondary payloads to maintain persistence or exfiltrate further data. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: cd9f7c8720086c3f29ccf3c9a8c8e49d ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/awagyu.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=awagyu.xyz Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
