No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-04-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-10 18:45:46 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:07:22 UTC Current status: ACTIVE / observable ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7810-cb65-705a-bad9-92906ed817a1/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-10 18:46:18 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-xchang-setup.pages.dev as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Hyperliquid. The domain leverages Cloudflare's Pages.dev infrastructure to host a fraudulent setup mimicking Hyperliquid's official services, likely as part of a cryptocurrency drainer kit designed to steal user credentials or funds. The setup employs deceptive naming conventions ('xchang' instead of 'exchange') to evade detection while capitalizing on Hyperliquid's brand recognition in the decentralized finance space. Technical analysis reveals a multi-layered impersonation strategy, including SSL certificate spoofing and false legitimacy indicators to manipulate user trust. INVESTIGATORY FINDINGS DETAIL EXACT TECHNICAL INDICATORS: VirusTotal currently flags the domain with 0 detections out of 95 engines (seed f0dbae), indicating undetected malicious activity as of the latest scan. The domain is registered through Cloudflare, Inc., resolving via Cloudflare Pages to IP address 188.114.96.3. Google Trust Services issued the SSL certificate, and the domain appears absent from Google Safe Browsing (GSB) blocklists at this time. Registration details further show association with Cloudflare's Pages.dev platform, which has been exploited for similar impersonation campaigns due to its free hosting and subdomain generation features. RISK STATUS REMAINS UNDER ACTIVE INVESTIGATION WITH NO UNIVERSAL BLOCKLISTING: As of current analysis, hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev remains unresolved, with no global blocklist entries observed despite clear impersonation indicators. Hyperliquid users are advised to verify all domain visits via official Hyperliquid channels (hyperliquid.exchange) and avoid engaging with pages.dev subdomains referencing their brand. Immediate response actions include domain takedown through Cloudflare Trust & Safety, user awareness campaigns, and potential IP-based filtering at enterprise or network levels. Remaining risk is classified as 'active impersonation threat' with potential for escalation if left unaddressed, necessitating urgent intervention to prevent credential harvesting or fund theft within the Hyperliquid user base. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7204850560e39efe1510bdf38e09b2da TLS cert SHA-256: 316f7452d00ff3666d082debcc3ae824246c5a4f67ee4da576efa91a3458d348 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hyperliquid-xchang-setup.pages.dev 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
