# PhishDestroy threat dossier — hypesplatforms.live ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-17 01:09:01 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/hypesplatforms.live/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 61/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 188.114.97.3 (US, San Francisco) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. 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: greg.ns.cloudflare.com, miki.ns.cloudflare.com Registered: 2026-07-09 Expires: 2027-07-09 HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-10-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 2791de9211ba626f4d8ce061f790189bda7057d2af792fb957a707073ccff223 ## 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: 2026-07-09 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-10 10:54:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-07-13 00:52:51 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-17 02:15:15 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-11 04:37:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f4b3b-6a64-7178-a694-ae8237f1d839/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/a8d363c8-82a8-4f42-916e-b36a5749fe95 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/hypesplatforms.live crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.hypesplatforms.live Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=hypesplatforms.live AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/hypesplatforms.live URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/hypesplatforms.live/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-10 11:06:04 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 a generic phishing threat targeting cryptocurrency users through a fraudulent exchange login portal. Analysis indicates the infrastructure is designed to harvest credentials for financial theft, though the specific impersonated brand remains unconfirmed at this stage. The domain currently poses an active risk to users who may be deceived into entering sensitive account information on the fake platform. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain hypesplatforms.live was registered on July 09, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3 and has not been flagged by any of the 95 engines on VirusTotal as of the latest scan. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which may lend an appearance of legitimacy to unsuspecting users. No blocklist entries or trust score downgrades have been recorded, suggesting the domain is still in the early stages of deployment or has evaded detection through technical obfuscation. Mitigation steps for this threat type include immediate domain blacklisting at the network perimeter, particularly for organizations handling cryptocurrency transactions. Endpoint protection systems should be updated to recognize the domain and its associated IP as malicious. Users should be educated to verify SSL certificates manually, as phishing sites often use valid certificates from trusted issuers. Security teams are advised to monitor for outbound connections to 188.114.97.3 and investigate any credential submissions to hypesplatforms.live. Given the domain's recent registration and lack of detection, proactive hunting for related infrastructure is recommended to identify potential secondary domains or IPs linked to the same threat actor. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - Public blocklists: now listed on 3 feeds ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260713-8F40E5 TLS cert SHA-256: 2791de9211ba626f4d8ce061f790189bda7057d2af792fb957a707073ccff223 ## 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/hypesplatforms.live/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=hypesplatforms.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
