safebureau.agency is an impersonation phishing site. Its official-sounding name, a "safe bureau" on an .agency domain, borrows the authority of an institution people are inclined to trust. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-10-04. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still live and serving protected content, so it remains a working threat.
How the scam works
Impersonation pages copy the look, language and authority of a legitimate organization, then use that borrowed credibility to make a request. Typical requests are signing in, "verifying" an account, paying a fee, or handing over wallet details to resolve a supposed problem. Whatever is entered, whether passwords, one-time codes, card data or a recovery phrase, goes straight to the operators. When we checked, the page title read "403 Forbidden", an access-denied message, while our classification places the site as an impersonation phishing page.
Evidence
On 2026-10-06, VirusTotal showed 11 of 91 security engines flagging the domain. They include alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, G-Data and Gridinsoft. That is a minority of engines, but the flagging vendors are independent and well established, so their agreement carries weight. The domain also appears in two AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which means other researchers have tracked it. Among public blocklists, it is currently listed by PhishDestroy.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on 2025-11-06, almost eleven months before it reached our blocklist. A long gap like that often means a domain was held quietly or used elsewhere before this campaign surfaced. It resolves to 23.153.104.17 on the Aquiryn LLC network in the United States and uses a free Let's Encrypt certificate. The padlock in the browser therefore says nothing about who runs the site.
What to do
If you typed a password on this site, change it now wherever you reuse it, and turn on app-based two-factor authentication. Do not rely on SMS for the second factor. If you entered card or bank details or paid any fee, contact your bank to dispute the charge and block the card. If you gave up a wallet recovery phrase, treat that wallet as lost and move any remaining funds to a new wallet with a fresh phrase. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP at DNS and proxy level, and search mail and web logs for users who reached it after 2026-10-04.

Accreditation is a contract, not a safety certification.
RAA §3.18 establishes abuse-contact and handling requirements. This report can document stored outbound notices and later technical observations; it does not by itself establish receipt, investigation, remediation, or contractual non-compliance.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
