Is hederas.xyz legit or a scam?
A malicious 1-day-old clone of hedera.com using fake 'Claim HBAR' and 'Connect Wallet' buttons to deploy a cryptocurrency drainer.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

What our vision model saw
5 signalsSuspicious 'Connect Wallet' and 'Connect Manually' buttons added to a corporate landing page
Presence of 'Claim XRPL' and 'Claim HBAR' buttons which are common cryptocurrency drainer tactics
Layout appears to be a clone of the legitimate hedera.com website
High-pressure call-to-action buttons for wallet connection that do not exist on the official site

MT Intelligence
The domain was registered only 24 hours ago and is a pixel-perfect copy of the legitimate hedera.com. While the official site provides enterprise information, this version has been modified with high-pressure 'Connect Wallet' and 'Claim XRPL' buttons. These features are classic indicators of a wallet-drainer scam. Multiple security engines, including Fortinet and Forcepoint, have already flagged the site as spam or suspicious. The use of a .xyz TLD and the lack of any official business registration further confirm this is a fraudulent operation.
