# PhishDestroy threat dossier — dapp-hyperliquid.xyz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 13:47:47 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dapp-hyperliquid.xyz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 80/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Hyperliquid ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Gridinsoft AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 4 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 104.21.61.32 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Go Daddy, LLC Nameservers: ["marek.ns.cloudflare.com", "maxine.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-11 Page title: HyperLiquid - The Most Advanced Decentralized Perpetual Exchange | dapp-hyperliquid.xyz ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-09 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 1e17b74428c897d97714ee60ea180b13768e210f3d79cbce205d9e53e39a8b0e ## 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: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 05:30:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-11 04:34:28 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-28 15:46:53 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-06 17:38:41 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7acf-1841-7398-9f48-eb58d8d9fc57/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6e4c0732-8096-4ec5-bfa4-fa7907071298 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/dapp-hyperliquid.xyz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.dapp-hyperliquid.xyz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=dapp-hyperliquid.xyz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/dapp-hyperliquid.xyz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/dapp-hyperliquid.xyz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 09:20:48 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, dapp-hyperliquid.xyz, is identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange platform. The site was designed to deceive users by replicating the legitimate Hyperliquid interface, likely to facilitate fraudulent transactions or credential harvesting. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity remains a concern for security analysts. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Go Daddy, LLC on April 11, 2026, and resolved to the IP address 104.21.61.32. It was flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, while appearing on 4 distinct security blocklists. Additional threat intelligence sources, including AlienVault OTX, have recorded this domain in at least one pulse. The domain’s trust score from Gridinsoft is 0 out of 100, further indicating its malicious nature. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which, while legitimate, does not mitigate the domain’s fraudulent intent. Given the domain’s current offline status, immediate risks to users are reduced. However, organizations and individuals should remain vigilant, as similar impersonation attempts may resurface under different domains or infrastructure. It is recommended to monitor for newly registered domains mimicking Hyperliquid or other decentralized platforms, enforce blocklisting of known malicious IPs, and educate users on verifying domain authenticity before interacting with financial or exchange-related services. Security teams should also review logs for any prior connections to 104.21.61.32 or related indicators of compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260411-99E1C3 Favicon MD5: cad861133a123bb1bf9bf606ef7ad260 TLS cert SHA-256: 1e17b74428c897d97714ee60ea180b13768e210f3d79cbce205d9e53e39a8b0e ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/dapp-hyperliquid.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=dapp-hyperliquid.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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
