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.

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: 2026-06-12 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-19 05:54:55 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-19 04:09:11 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-19 06:19:06 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ede03-c1e9-74cf-84d6-833b360abfde/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/0a2c0fda-8074-4e33-ba94-ce36f65f55b0 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/checks-pump.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.checks-pump.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=checks-pump.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/checks-pump.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/checks-pump.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-19 06:00:09 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies checks-pump.fun as a domain that poses a significant generic_phishing threat, where cybercriminals deceive users into divulging sensitive information by masquerading as a legitimate entity. This domain was flagged due to its recent creation on June 12, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and it currently resolves to IP 188.114.97.3, with a surprisingly low 0/95 VirusTotal detection rate, indicating that it has not yet been widely recognized as malicious, and it is not currently blocked by any major blocklists. If a user has visited checks-pump.fun, they should immediately take action to protect themselves, such as monitoring their account activity and changing passwords, as the generic_phishing threat posed by this domain can lead to significant financial and personal data loss, and PhishDestroy recommends checking the full report for the latest information and guidance on how to stay safe. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 10/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260619-AD7639 Favicon MD5: 3b95f264ba9ca3874a7cd5528ce97142 TLS cert SHA-256: 6225eb72f226085256b20d60309d9eae3f06d2621c2d4ab883aef80a45d4fed2 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/checks-pump.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=checks-pump.fun 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
