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: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-18 13:32:50 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-18 11:37:31 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 12:20:39 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-20 00:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eda7f-e905-728b-94c3-b43b578d9dd5/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7ffa09d7-1d7d-4bd5-8b95-8e484fe18b87 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/protection-pump.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.protection-pump.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=protection-pump.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/protection-pump.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/protection-pump.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:32:49 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies protection-pump.fun as a high-risk domain associated with generic phishing, specifically targeting users with a crypto drainer kit, and it does not appear to impersonate a well-known brand. The domain protection-pump.fun has a VirusTotal score of 8/95, indicating that a significant number of security vendors have flagged it as malicious, it was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to the IP address 104.21.49.127, and was created on June 15, 2026, it also has an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services / WE1, and appears on 3 security blocklists, all of which suggest a highly suspicious profile. Currently, the domain protection-pump.fun remains active and poses a significant threat to users, given its ability to drain cryptocurrency, PhishDestroy recommends exercising extreme caution and verifying the authenticity of any website before engaging with it, especially those promising cashback services, and taking immediate response actions to mitigate the risk, such as blocking the domain and warning others, as the remaining risk is still considered high due to its active status and the number of security vendors flagging it. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260618-3029E2 Favicon MD5: 1f0f65e2788a9785479d354d9d8981f7 TLS cert SHA-256: 64229b25760b169699163263c5859c15c5618372539305b9121387542953cb29 ## 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/protection-pump.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=protection-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.
