VirusTotal:      4/91 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar, URLQuery
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      188.114.96.3 (US, San Francisco)
Hosting org:     AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc.
Registrar:       MAT BAO CORPORATION

Issuer:     none
Expires:    2026-09-13
Status:     INVALID chain

## 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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-24 21:06:21 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-25 03:04:03 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 19:08:53 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat targeting Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetuals exchange. The infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate Hyperliquid properties, likely for credential harvesting or fraudulent fund transfers from unsuspecting users.  Analysis reveals the domain hyperliquidbase.com was registered through MAT BAO CORPORATION on June 15, 2026, an atypical timeframe suggesting potential preemptive malicious registration. It resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3 and appears on one security blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. VirusTotal detection shows 4 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, indicating moderate but non-negligible consensus among detection engines. The domain has since been taken offline, though historical resolution data and registration details remain relevant for tracking.  Organizations and users should implement the following mitigation measures specific to brand impersonation threats. First, block the domain hyperliquidbase.com and its associated IP 188.114.96.3 at the network perimeter to prevent accidental access. Second, monitor for newly registered domains containing 'hyperliquid' or similar permutations, particularly those registered through MAT BAO CORPORATION or other registrars commonly abused for phishing. Third, deploy email filtering rules to quarantine messages containing hyperliquidbase.com or related indicators. Fourth, conduct user awareness training emphasizing verification of domain authenticity before entering credentials or connecting wallets. Finally, report the domain to relevant threat intelligence platforms to improve collective defense against this impersonation campaign.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260624-314CB9
Favicon MD5:       437a8c13e75506d85cdbcf81c4772036

## 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.
