eligible-hype[.]org

The domain eligible-hype.org has been identified as a high-risk brand impersonation site specifically targeting Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetuals exchange. Analysis indicates the domain was designed to mimic Hyperliquid’s Season 2 distribution event, as evidenced by the page title 'Hyperliquid — Season 2 Distribution.' This fraudulent infrastructure was operational until recently but has since been taken offline. The specific threat type is a crypto drainer, intended to deceive users into connecting wallets and authorizing malicious transactions that siphon funds from victims' accounts. Infrastructure analysis reveals multiple high-risk indicators. The domain was registered through NameSilo, LLC on May 18, 2024, and resolved to the IP address 188.114.97.3. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged eligible-hype.org as malicious, with 10 out of 95 engines detecting it as a threat. The domain appears on three security blocklists and is actively blocked by wallet security tools and phishing protection systems. Additional technical indicators include the use of Cloudflare and HTTP/3, which are commonly employed to obfuscate malicious activity and evade detection. Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of 0 out of 100, further confirming its fraudulent nature. The domain is currently offline, reducing immediate exposure risk. However, threat actors frequently re-deploy similar infrastructure under new domains. Users and organizations are advised to monitor for newly registered domains impersonating Hyperliquid or other crypto platforms, particularly those referencing seasonal distributions or airdrops. Wallet security extensions should be configured to block interactions with untrusted domains automatically. Network-level protections, such as DNS filtering and IP reputation checks, should be implemented to prevent access to known malicious infrastructure. Verification of official communication channels and direct access to legitimate platforms via bookmarked URLs are critical to mitigating brand impersonation threats.
