rubric v1.7.0

DNS/CDN/frontend hash drift

Hyperliquid's assessment for RD-F-105 — scored yellow on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

hyperliquid.xyz is the official frontend domain, served via Cloudflare. No confirmed DNS/CDN compromise at the official domain during the assessment period. HOWEVER: documented fake Google Ads campaigns leading to wallet-draining scams (claim-hyperliquid[.]xyz, hyperliquid[.]life) are confirmed in 2024-2025 (Phemex reporting). These are impersonator domains, not DNS drift on the official domain — RD-F-161 is the correct signal for impersonators. The fake Google Ads ecosystem elevates risk but does not trigger RD-F-105 (official domain drift) directly. Signal baseline not established; if monitoring were live, the fake ad campaigns constitute an elevated-risk context requiring establishment of a hash baseline. Score yellow due to active impersonation ecosystem creating persistent attack surface, even though the official domain itself has not been compromised.

Detect whether the hash of production frontend JS changes versus the prior published hash, or a DNS config change is detected.
