Status:     INVALID chain

## 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.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-08 15:01:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, wegyu.xyz, is flagged as a high-risk phishing site specializing in fake login credential harvesting. Analysis indicates no direct brand impersonation or crypto drainer kit association, but the domain exhibits characteristics consistent with credential theft campaigns targeting financial or corporate login portals. The lack of overt branding suggests a generic phishing framework designed for broad deployment across multiple targets.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the following technical indicators: VirusTotal detection score of 3/95 security vendors, indicating limited but confirmed malicious classification. The domain was registered on January 13, 2026, through Spaceship, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 185.165.169.123. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status remains unconfirmed at the time of analysis, and no additional blocklist entries beyond the VirusTotal detections have been identified. The domain's creation date suggests recent deployment, aligning with typical phishing campaign lifecycles.  Current status confirms the domain remains active, with no evidence of takedown or sinkholing. Response actions should include immediate blocking of the domain and associated IP at the network perimeter, alongside monitoring for internal connections to 185.165.169.123. Given the low VirusTotal detection rate, additional scrutiny of endpoint logs for HTTP/HTTPS requests to wegyu.xyz is recommended. The remaining risk is classified as high due to the domain's active status and confirmed phishing intent, necessitating continued vigilance for secondary infection vectors or follow-on attacks leveraging stolen credentials.

## 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.
