# PhishDestroy threat dossier — wahgyu.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-13 04:49:24 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/wahgyu.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 4/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Kaspersky Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 185.165.169.123 (RO, Bucharest) ASN: AS200651 FlokiNET ehf Hosting org: FlokiNET Romania Registrar: Spaceship, Inc. Nameservers: launch1.spaceship.net, launch2.spaceship.net Registered: 2026-01-17 Expires: 2027-01-17 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: 0327321b3a133da7206f5f71f9a8e1de8cc876b5aafca9fe360a9ea7443aac78 ## 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) First detected: 2026-07-08 13:26:19 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/019f4179-3174-76af-aaf1-57c54488d8e0/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/9b5d1957-4c70-44ae-bb9c-25dd4cac4375 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/wahgyu.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.wahgyu.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=wahgyu.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/wahgyu.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/wahgyu.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-08 15:01:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, wahgyu.xyz, is flagged as a high-risk generic phishing site targeting cryptocurrency users. Analysis indicates it impersonates a private cross-chain bridge service, likely designed to harvest wallet credentials or deploy drainer kits. The page title, 'Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge,' suggests an attempt to mimic legitimate blockchain infrastructure, a common tactic in crypto-focused phishing campaigns. No specific drainer kit has been confirmed, but the domain aligns with patterns observed in wallet-draining attacks targeting decentralized finance (DeFi) users. Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: the domain was registered on January 17, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., and currently resolves to IP address 185.165.169.123. VirusTotal detection shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. No Google Safe Browsing (GSB) listing was identified at the time of analysis, and blocklist monitoring indicates minimal coverage, suggesting the domain may still be evading widespread detection. The registration date is unusually recent, which may indicate an attempt to bypass reputation-based filtering systems. The domain remains active as of the latest verification, posing an ongoing risk to users who may interact with it under the false pretense of a legitimate cross-chain service. Recommended response actions include immediate blocklisting at the network and endpoint levels, particularly for organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions. Users should be advised to verify bridge services through official project documentation and avoid interacting with unsolicited or newly registered domains. Despite limited vendor detections, the combination of impersonation tactics, recent registration, and targeting of crypto infrastructure warrants continued monitoring and proactive mitigation. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: cd9f7c8720086c3f29ccf3c9a8c8e49d TLS cert SHA-256: 0327321b3a133da7206f5f71f9a8e1de8cc876b5aafca9fe360a9ea7443aac78 ## 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/wahgyu.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=wahgyu.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.
