## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 15:50:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

thehyperliquidbridge.com was registered on May 13, 2025, and is actively impersonating HyperLiquid, a leading decentralized exchange, to deceive users into connecting wallets or transacting on malicious contracts. The domain leverages a legitimate SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt, which increases credibility and lowers user suspicion. Technical indicators reveal the domain resolves to IP 216.230.86.1 and is hosted through NAMECHEAP INC, a common registrar used by threat actors for quick domain churn.  VirusTotal currently shows zero detections out of 95 engines, indicating this is a newly deployed threat with no signature coverage as of discovery. The domain’s age and lack of detection suggest it may be a zero-day campaign targeting Hyperliquid users, likely aiming to siphon funds via fake swap interfaces or wallet drainers. Given the zero detection rate and fresh registration, the threat is classified as evolving and under active investigation.  Users who visited thehyperliquidbridge.com should immediately revoke any connected wallet permissions via wallet settings or a reputable block explorer, clear browser cache and cookies, and avoid interacting with any linked contracts or forms. Enable transaction simulation where available and monitor wallet activity closely. Report the domain to Hyperliquid’s official support if any unauthorized transactions occur. Do not reuse passwords or wallet seeds on unknown sites.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Favicon MD5:       d6442e9480acc2c12418f9d155b6749a
TLS cert SHA-256:      cc262baa89e087501252e92577b309169bac7b7f4378cb66c4a6c767872d8d73

## 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.
