## 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: 2026-03-19 05:29:01 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy has identified app-hypcnliguiid.vip as a medium-risk domain that impersonated the financial services brand Hyperliquid. This domain, created on July 31, 2025, was designed to deceive users by mimicking Hyperliquid’s branding and page title. Such brand impersonation schemes can lead to theft of personal information, financial loss, or unauthorized account access.

This phishing attempt worked by adopting the Hyperliquid name and website style, likely aiming to trick visitors into trusting the site and submitting sensitive data. The domain resolved to the IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered through Devexpanse Ltd. It was flagged on two security blocklists and identified by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating some detection of its malicious intent. Fortunately, the domain has since been taken offline, reducing the immediate risk.

If you have visited app-hypcnliguiid.vip, it is important to remain vigilant. Avoid entering any personal or financial details on suspicious sites. Users who provided credentials or payment information should change passwords immediately and monitor their accounts for unauthorized activity. Reporting such incidents to your IT security team or relevant authorities can help prevent further harm. Staying informed and cautious is key to defending against brand impersonation attacks like this one.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       3cf31bdb20f8ad764b3c0368fd20106991b0b8ae3ba64f5dfebb0c468fa9b08f

## 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 (volunteer 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.
