Registrar: NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["nelci.ns.cloudflare.com", "trace.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-02-21 Page title: Just a moment... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-02 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: cbecb7543af350dcbdb8d07cc62752ef7c1a3055ba14290e3442b2869a66333e ## 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: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:22:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-13 01:41:33 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-03 03:16:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019cc710-aee8-77ec-8f37-3469d2583b40/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hyperliquids.claims crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hyperliquids.claims Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hyperliquids.claims AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hyperliquids.claims URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hyperliquids.claims/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 02:25:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified hyperliquids.claims as a domain involved in brand impersonation targeting the cryptocurrency platform Hyperliquid. The site was designed to mislead users by mimicking the legitimate brand, potentially to deceive victims into divulging sensitive information or engaging in fraudulent activity. Classified as a medium-level threat, this domain underscores the ongoing risk of brand spoofing within the crypto space. The domain was initially registered on February 21, 2026, through NiceNIC International Group Co., Limited. It resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and was flagged on three security blocklists. VirusTotal scans reported detections by 7 out of 95 security vendors, indicating moderate suspicion by antivirus engines. The page title, "Just a moment...", suggests possible use of protection or redirection techniques to evade detection. AlienVault OTX also logged this domain in one threat intelligence pulse, further confirming its association with malicious activity. Currently, hyperliquids.claims is offline and no longer resolving, reducing immediate risk to users. PhishDestroy recommends that organizations and individuals remain cautious of any emails, messages, or links referencing this domain or similar variants. Vigilance is advised, especially when interacting with URLs impersonating Hyperliquid. Blocking and monitoring for related suspicious domains can enhance protection against brand impersonation attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 437a8c13e75506d85cdbcf81c4772036 TLS cert SHA-256: cbecb7543af350dcbdb8d07cc62752ef7c1a3055ba14290e3442b2869a66333e ## 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/hyperliquids.claims/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hyperliquids.claims 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.
