Nameservers: launch1.spaceship.net, launch2.spaceship.net Registered: 2026-01-13 Expires: 2027-01-13 Page title: Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge HTTP response: 301 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6544e980e6091e740723289720c9608507771d314c9230e37595a59b0f93dd22 ## 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: 2026-01-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 13:31:28 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 04:20:41 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/019f417e-0a2f-734c-a430-cefcb3ff11b1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/ddca134c-7546-405d-870c-07d105078ac8 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/wagyyu.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.wagyyu.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=wagyyu.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/wagyyu.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/wagyyu.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 13:37:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain wagyyu.xyz is actively posing a high-risk threat by impersonating a legitimate service known as Bridge Scam. This domain's fraudulent activities can deceive users into believing they are interacting with a legitimate cross-chain bridge service. Users may unknowingly disclose sensitive information or send cryptocurrency to malicious actors, under the false pretense of using a trusted service. The page title 'Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge' is specifically crafted to lure users into this scam. A technical analysis of wagyyu.xyz reveals that the domain is hosted on IP address 185.165.169.123 and was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on January 13, 2026. VirusTotal data indicates that the domain is flagged by 4 out of 95 security vendors, illustrating a growing awareness of its malicious nature. Despite this, the domain remains active, suggesting that not all security systems have recognized it as a threat yet. The SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt adds a veneer of legitimacy, potentially deceiving users further. Users who have visited wagyyu.xyz should immediately conduct a thorough security check of their systems. It is advised to change passwords for any accounts that may have been compromised and to monitor for unauthorized transactions, particularly in cryptocurrency accounts. Additionally, users should report any suspicious activity to relevant authorities and consider using updated security software to guard against future threats. Being vigilant and cautious when encountering unfamiliar domains can prevent falling victim to such impersonation scams. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: cd9f7c8720086c3f29ccf3c9a8c8e49d TLS cert SHA-256: 6544e980e6091e740723289720c9608507771d314c9230e37595a59b0f93dd22 ## 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/wagyyu.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wagyyu.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.
