Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Analysis indicates that hyperliquidcustody.xyz is an active brand-impersonation domain targeting Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange. The domain was registered on July 9, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and currently resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. The page title, 'DocuSign - Download to View Document,' suggests an attempt to deceive users into interacting with a fraudulent document-sharing interface, likely designed to harvest credentials or distribute malicious payloads. Infrastructure review shows the domain uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend a false sense of legitimacy. As of July 12, 2026, four out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal have flagged the domain as malicious. Additionally, the domain appears in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, further corroborating its association with malicious activity. Defenders should treat this domain as high-risk due to its recent registration, brand-impersonation tactics, and confirmed detection by multiple security sources. The exact content and functionality of the site remain unanalyzed, but the use of a DocuSign-themed lure aligns with common phishing methodologies targeting financial or cryptocurrency platforms. Network-level blocking or monitoring for connections to 188.114.97.3 is recommended. No further details about the phishing kit or payload delivery mechanism are currently available. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: dd442c5b128754be0147a96e78293bc9 TLS cert SHA-256: 46f2937985637e84024ac100668a4b0ea7fa45b6035b6d6f639d8e40edd2452a ## 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/hyperliquidcustody.xyz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hyperliquidcustody.xyz 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.
