## 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

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-23 22:42:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This site, hyperliq-trade.la, displayed a "404 Error" page title and is classified as an impersonation scam targeting the Hyperliquid brand. The primary threat is that it was designed to deceive users into believing it is an official Hyperliquid platform, likely to steal credentials, funds, or sensitive information through phishing or credential harvesting.

Technical evidence shows the domain was flagged by 14 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, with specific detections from ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, and ESET. It is listed on three blocklists. The domain is registered through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited, with creation date 2025-08-08. It resolves to IP address 95.129.234.38 (Russia), hosted by AS57724 DDOS-GUARD LTD, and uses an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services with issuer WE1. Nameservers are martha.ns.cloudflare.com and tanner.ns.cloudflare.com.

The site is currently offline, indicating it may have been taken down or disabled. The risk level is high due to the impersonation of a known brand and the number of security vendor detections, suggesting malicious intent. Users should avoid any interaction with the domain and treat it as a confirmed threat.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon SHA-256:       e00add76c5a22beaecfaa13cb567260ebabc7e6b5cb44df8f67309d3da784308
TLS cert SHA-256:      304dd0b929f0eb495f9074ce98df3f809bfc6c960c6ed0c9f6f2ef4652689026

## 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.
