## 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: 2026-07-03 05:54:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The risk level associated with hpliquid.com is classified as high, specifically due to brand impersonation threats targeting Hyperliquid.

Infrastructure analysis reveals that hpliquid.com resolves to the IP address 188.114.96.3. The domain was created on June 28, 2026, and is registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Current intelligence shows that 2 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged this domain, indicating potential malicious activity. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy to the domain.

To mitigate the risks associated with this brand impersonation, organizations should monitor their brand presence online and utilize domain monitoring services to detect similar threats. It is also advisable to implement security awareness training for employees to recognize phishing attempts. Additionally, filing a report with the appropriate authorities and leveraging takedown services can help in addressing the impersonation effectively.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260703-67103C
TLS cert SHA-256:      a5701980ec99bb240a4bd82ff74fccd56c9eca67371f182e67f21ab30e863870

## 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.
