Nameservers: launch1.spaceship.net, launch2.spaceship.net Registered: 2026-06-04 Expires: 2027-06-04 Page title: Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE2 Expires: 2026-09-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 128140b18986118c01b432d71743d0cdfd068ea9f49a0b2b351bd25f9f8c6f78 ## 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: 2026-06-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 13:27:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 07:00:13 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-08 18:17:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f417a-32a0-754b-b2a3-c230922cca2f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/58e6fc31-fbe9-49e3-b287-308972bc8b1c Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/wagyu.wtf crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.wagyu.wtf Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=wagyu.wtf AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/wagyu.wtf URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/wagyu.wtf/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 15:01:47 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain wagyu.wtf is identified as a source of generic phishing activity, targeting users with a deceptive platform impersonating a legitimate cross-chain bridge service. The site presents itself with the title 'Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge', which may encourage users to interact with fraudulent cryptocurrency or blockchain-related operations. This type of phishing scheme is designed to solicit sensitive information, potentially leading to credential theft and fraudulent transactions within the digital asset sector. Technical analysis of wagyu.wtf reveals several risk indicators. The domain is actively resolving to IP address 185.165.169.123 and remains operational. VirusTotal results show that 2 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. The domain was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on June 4, 2026, and its presence has been documented in at least one threat intelligence pulse on AlienVault OTX. These data points, combined with the domain's active status and purposefully misleading branding, strongly indicate an ongoing phishing campaign with high risk to users. Users who have visited wagyu.wtf should immediately refrain from providing any personal, financial, or authentication information. It is advised to monitor for potential misuse of credentials, initiate password changes on any implicated accounts, and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Affected individuals should also review device and network logs for signs of compromise and employ further security measures to mitigate risk from potential exposure. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: cd9f7c8720086c3f29ccf3c9a8c8e49d TLS cert SHA-256: 128140b18986118c01b432d71743d0cdfd068ea9f49a0b2b351bd25f9f8c6f78 ## 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/wagyu.wtf/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wagyu.wtf 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.
