Registrar: Gname.com Pte. Ltd. Nameservers: emely.ns.cloudflare.com, jihoon.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-06-01 Expires: 2027-06-01 Page title: HyperLiquid Perps — #1 Perpetuals DEX on HyperEVM | Trade with 50x Leverage HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 648e94494f7ac1ff5741d2bc14a5055d29bc424b16e4d1155ceb057cd1c8f87e ## 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: 2026-06-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-08 20:36:14 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-13 00:40:30 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-09 00:17:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4303-1932-7285-b492-cc9bad91e8cb/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hyperliquid-perps.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hyperliquid-perps.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hyperliquid-perps.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hyperliquid-perps.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hyperliquid-perps.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-13 00:19:21 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, hyperliquid-perps.com, is an active brand impersonation threat targeting the Hyperliquid platform. Registered on June 1, 2026, via Gname.com Pte. Ltd., it resolves to IP 188.114.96.3 and uses Cloudflare services with an SSL certificate from Google Trust Services. The page title, 'HyperLiquid Perps — #1 Perpetuals DEX on HyperEVM | Trade with 50x Leverage,' directly mimics the legitimate Hyperliquid brand. Analysis confirms high risk: the Gridinsoft trust score is 0/100, the domain appears on 3 security blocklists, and 18 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal flag it as malicious. AlienVault OTX reports its presence in 4 threat intelligence pulses. It is blocked by SEAL, MetaMask, and PhishDestroy, yet remains operational as of July 12, 2026. Infrastructure analysis reveals no additional malware hosting, but the domain's sole purpose is credential theft or financial fraud through brand impersonation. Defenders should add this domain to blocklists, monitor for subdomains or related registrations, and warn users that any interaction with hyperliquid-perps.com risks compromise of crypto wallet credentials or funds. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 18/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 648e94494f7ac1ff5741d2bc14a5055d29bc424b16e4d1155ceb057cd1c8f87e ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hyperliquid-perps.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hyperliquid-perps.com 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
