## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED

!!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!!
NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with
illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:
  https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real

Nameservers:     ["gloria.ns.cloudflare.com", "pranab.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-03-22

## 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: 2026-03-24 01:23:10 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies hyperliquid-airdrop.app as a domain associated with crypto-draining activities, posing a significant risk to users' cryptocurrency holdings. Crypto-drainers are malicious sites designed to trick users into revealing private keys or authorizing transactions, potentially leading to irreversible financial losses. The emergence of such threats underlines the critical need for vigilance in the crypto space.

This domain was registered recently on March 22, 2026, and remains active. Despite its suspicious nature, it has not yet been flagged by any security vendors, as VirusTotal reports zero detections out of 95 scans. This lack of detection suggests the domain may be leveraging novel techniques to evade standard security filters, emphasizing the importance of independent caution beyond automated tools.

Users are strongly advised to refrain from engaging with hyperliquid-airdrop.app, especially avoiding any wallet connections or private key submissions. It is prudent to verify any airdrop offers through official channels and use established platforms only. Ensuring the integrity of your crypto wallet credentials and employing hardware wallets or multi-factor authentication can provide additional layers of protection against such evolving threats.

## 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.
