## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-13 00:19:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

Analysis of the domain wagyau.xyz indicates it is an active phishing site targeting users of cross-chain bridge services. Registered on January 17, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., the domain resolves to the IP address 185.165.169.123. The page title, 'Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge,' suggests an attempt to impersonate a legitimate cryptocurrency bridge platform, though no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed in available data. The domain is flagged by three security blocklists and is actively blocked by multiple threat intelligence platforms, including SEAL, MetaMask, and PhishDestroy. Gridinsoft assigns it a trust score of 0/100, and nine out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal detect it as malicious. AlienVault OTX includes the domain in four threat intelligence pulses, further corroborating its association with malicious activity.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the use of Python, Flask, Caddy, and Cloudflare, along with HTTP/3 support, which may be employed to evade detection or enhance site performance. The domain remains active as of July 12, 2026, with no evidence of takedown or mitigation efforts. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk and prioritize blocking it at the network and endpoint levels. Additional investigation into the hosting infrastructure and associated threat actor activity is recommended to determine the full scope of the campaign. The exact content and functionality of the site have not yet been analyzed, so further classification of the phishing methodology is not possible at this time.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - VirusTotal detections: now 9/91 (narrative was written when count was lower)

## 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.
