Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as a high-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting users of cross-chain bridge services. Analysis indicates the site is designed to deceive victims into believing it is a legitimate private cross-chain bridge, likely to harvest wallet credentials, private keys, or facilitate unauthorized asset transfers under the guise of a secure transaction platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain wagyue.xyz was registered on January 17, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., and currently resolves to IP address 185.165.169.123. VirusTotal detection shows 7 out of 95 security vendors have flagged the domain as malicious. The site uses a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate, which while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. AlienVault OTX records the domain in at least one threat intelligence pulse, further corroborating its association with malicious activity. The page title, 'Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge,' directly impersonates bridge services, a common tactic in cryptocurrency scams. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate domain blocking at the network and endpoint levels. Organizations should update web filtering rules to categorize wagyue.xyz as malicious and prevent user access. Users should be educated to verify bridge service authenticity by cross-referencing official project documentation and avoiding domains that deviate from known legitimate URLs. Wallet providers and exchange platforms should monitor for transactions originating from this domain and alert users attempting to interact with it. Incident responders should collect and analyze artifacts such as the IP address 185.165.169.123, domain registration details, and SSL certificate fingerprints for inclusion in threat intelligence feeds. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: cd9f7c8720086c3f29ccf3c9a8c8e49d TLS cert SHA-256: 11088a48f3e2c75926cd1213eb57c7810c4e787561637d95ecfd97dbfcdb3546 ## 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/wagyue.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wagyue.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.
