## 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: 2026-01-17 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-07-14 04:20:38 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 15:01:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, wagyh.xyz, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing threat designed to impersonate the Wagyu cross-chain bridge platform. Analysis indicates the site mimics legitimate cryptocurrency bridge services, likely deploying a drainer kit to siphon digital assets from victims. The domain’s infrastructure and content suggest a targeted campaign against users seeking private or decentralized cross-chain transactions.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain resolves to IP address 185.165.169.123 and was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on January 17, 2026. VirusTotal detection shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The domain remains unlisted on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) and has minimal blocklist coverage, limiting visibility of its threat status. The page title, 'Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge,' directly aligns with the impersonation of legitimate cross-chain services.  As of the latest assessment, wagyh.xyz remains active and operational, posing an ongoing risk to users. No takedown or sinkholing actions have been observed, and the domain’s hosting infrastructure persists without disruption. Users are advised to block the domain at the network level, avoid interacting with any associated URLs, and verify cross-chain bridge services through official channels only. The low detection rate and lack of widespread blocklisting increase the likelihood of successful compromise for uninformed targets.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       42c2cd7c326db3c5fc502631edbe93df
TLS cert SHA-256:      b547790cd06a0b3e2193487993e53a7a57cc5bbc101a935d0aed834f80479541

## 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.
