## 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 13:29:22 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)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 15:01:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, wayyu.xyz, is actively posing as a legitimate Wagyu cross-chain bridge platform to deceive users into connecting cryptocurrency wallets. Analysis indicates the site is designed to execute unauthorized transactions, draining funds from victims' wallets once permissions are granted. The threat primarily targets users seeking private or exclusive blockchain bridging services, exploiting trust in cross-chain infrastructure.  Infrastructure analysis reveals concrete indicators of malicious intent. The domain was registered on January 13, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., a registrar frequently associated with high-risk domains. VirusTotal detection data shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, with resolutions pointing to the IP address 185.165.169.123. The page title, Wagyu | Private Cross-Chain Bridge, further confirms the impersonation attempt, mimicking branding elements of legitimate crypto services.  If you visited wayyu.xyz or interacted with the site, immediate action is required. Disconnect any connected wallets from the domain using a blockchain explorer or wallet interface. Revoke all permissions granted to the site via smart contract interaction tools. Monitor wallet activity for unauthorized transactions and consider transferring assets to a new wallet if suspicious activity is detected. Report the domain to relevant security platforms to aid in takedown efforts and prevent further victimization.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       cd9f7c8720086c3f29ccf3c9a8c8e49d
TLS cert SHA-256:      9a41ceffce5ac28e2b075b22d664b5e89d16a70f9007b94145e7c0f36350c289

## 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.
