## 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: 2026-03-03 03:19:34 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.review as a medium-risk phishing domain that targeted users interested in cryptocurrency trading. The site presented itself as a trusted review platform for zero-gas perpetual trading, misleading visitors with a convincing page title. Despite its seemingly legitimate appearance, this domain was flagged on multiple security blocklists and was designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information.

This phishing campaign worked by mimicking a reputable resource related to perpetual trading strategies, likely aiming to lure cryptocurrency traders into submitting personal data, login credentials, or possibly even financial information. Such tactics often lead to account compromise or financial loss. The domain was registered through a common registrar, NameCheap, Inc., and resolved to a dedicated IP address before being taken offline following security community intervention.

Users should exercise caution when visiting unfamiliar websites claiming to offer financial or trading advice. Always verify the legitimacy of the domain and avoid entering sensitive information on sites with questionable reputations. Utilizing updated security tools and consulting trusted sources before engaging with such platforms can prevent falling victim to phishing attempts like hyperliquid.review.

## EVIDENCE HASHES

Favicon SHA-256:       7e52cad6f425a00ef3715ae9ddef568aa9a3f929620a061214204ee08611651a

## 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.
