Composite threat score: 78/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Airdrop Scam
Targeted brand: Hyperliquid

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      3/91 security vendors flagged this domain

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------

Expires:    2026-07-30
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: 151b388248e99b4b3a7c86c299825e7391ba9e4b47dad97af6d7afa457823e7c

## 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: 2026-05-04 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-05-04 15:05:59 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Earliest abuse rec: 2026-05-04 12:06:10 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name
Last verified:     2026-05-12 13:40:05 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-05-12 02:46:12 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means
the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered
by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution
research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands.

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-05-04 15:07:55 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

hyperliqdrop.com has been identified as a malicious domain actively engaging in brand impersonation targeting Hyperliquid. The domain is currently under active status, indicating ongoing malicious operations. This threat involves the fraudulent replication of Hyperliquid's branding to deceive users into divulging sensitive information or transferring cryptocurrency assets to attacker-controlled wallets.

This domain was flagged by 0 out of 95 VirusTotal vendors, suggesting it remains undetected by most security solutions at this time. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and was registered via PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. Its SSL certificate, issued by Let's Encrypt, further enhances its deceptive credibility. The domain was created on May 02, 2026, and remains unlisted on major threat blocklists, reflecting a recently established but rapidly evolving threat. Trust scores for this domain are currently neutral, though its active status and impersonation tactics elevate its risk profile.

Given the domain's active status, lack of detection, and use of Hyperliquid's branding, immediate defensive actions are warranted. Organizations and users should block hyperliqdrop.com at the DNS and firewall levels. Hyperliquid users must be alerted to verify URLs rigorously and avoid interacting with this domain. Additionally, monitoring for related domains and IPs, particularly those sharing infrastructure attributes with 188.114.96.3, is strongly advised. Security teams should also examine internal logs for any evidence of user engagement with this domain, as its low detection rate may result in successful exploitation.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260504-FAB07E
Favicon MD5:       2fd2b92925783b771c92480844577952
TLS cert SHA-256:      151b388248e99b4b3a7c86c299825e7391ba9e4b47dad97af6d7afa457823e7c

## 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.
