Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain is flagged as an active brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Bitcoin users through a fraudulent refund claim portal. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to mimic legitimate cryptocurrency refund services, potentially facilitating unauthorized transfers or credential harvesting under the guise of transaction reversals. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain hyperrefund.live was registered on June 25, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 216.198.79.1 and employs a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, which provides basic encryption without vetting the legitimacy of the site. VirusTotal reports zero detections across 95 security engines, suggesting the domain has not yet been widely flagged by automated systems. No blocklist entries or trust score downgrades were identified at the time of assessment, though the creation date and registrar choice align with patterns observed in cryptocurrency-related fraud. Mitigation steps for this specific threat type include immediate reporting to cryptocurrency security teams and domain registrars to initiate takedown procedures. Users should verify refund requests through official Bitcoin support channels only, avoiding direct interaction with unsolicited refund portals. Network administrators are advised to block the IP address 216.198.79.1 and monitor for connections to hyperrefund.live in logs. Cryptocurrency service providers should alert users about this impersonation campaign and reinforce warnings against entering wallet credentials or private keys on unverified platforms. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-530D4B ## 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/hyperrefund.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hyperrefund.live 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.
