Network Security Intelligence Registrar context
Registrar contextNiceNIC
Stored registration data identifies NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (IANA 3765) as the registrar. PhishDestroy maintains separate NiceNIC abuse-report research; registrar association is contextual and is not an independent detection for this domain.
PhishDestroy's intake AI flagged kms-pico.cc on 2026-10-23 after VirusTotal reported one malicious detection among 92 engines, noting the site offers a KMSPico activator for Windows and Office. The recorded page title "KMSPico Activator For Windows 10, 11 & Office 2012-2021" confirms that claim. The domain was first seen by PhishDestroy on 2026-10-23, 19 days after its registration on 2026-10-04. An HTTP 301 redirect to the www subdomain was observed at that time.
How the scam works
Illicit activation tools such as KMSPico claim to bypass Microsoft licensing by modifying activation files or contacting unauthorized key servers. Operators typically host the tool on a website that encourages users to download and run an executable, which may be bundled with malware, adware, or unwanted programs. Victims believe they are obtaining a free legitimate product, but the downloaded file can compromise the system or steal data.
Evidence
VirusTotal scanned the domain on 2026-10-23 and recorded three detections: one malicious (Forcepoint ThreatSeeker) and two suspicious (alphaMountain.ai, Fortinet). Google Safe Browsing checked the same day and did not flag the site. External blocklists MetaMask and SEAL listed the domain, and Spamhaus DBL categorized it as phishing. OTX showed four pulses referencing the domain. URLScan captured the site on 2026-10-21; its engine analysis marked the URL as malicious with a score of 70, though the overall verdict was clean. PhishDestroy’s internal blocklist also contains the domain.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered with NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on 2026-10-04 and expires on 2027-10-04. The domain resolved to Cloudflare IPs (188.114.96.3 and 188.114.97.3) and corresponding IPv6 addresses, and Cloudflare was observed as the CDN and web‑application firewall. The TLS certificate, issued by Let’s Encrypt, was valid from 2026-10-04 to 2027-01-02, and DNSSEC was not enabled.
What to do
Do not download or execute any files from kms-pico.cc; if such files are present, run reputable anti‑malware software to remove them. Organizations should block the domain and its associated IPs at the firewall or DNS level and monitor logs for any connections. If credentials were entered on the site, change those passwords immediately. No wallet or seed‑phrase exposure is indicated, so wallet‑specific actions are not required.

After a phishing incident
Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including kms-pico.cc)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
