Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. 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. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["aria.ns.cloudflare.com", "chad.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-06-01 Expires: 2027-06-01 Page title: Pump.fun Cashback | Get 30% Back on Rug Pull Losses ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-30 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b55317e78a519060c525e56684a1692ae21a5ae5fc07076c32deea7a42cdd4d8 ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: CLOSED — no report required. 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: 2026-06-01 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-09 14:31:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-09 12:48:44 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-04 16:20:36 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 06:21:28 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eac60-cbd7-7505-8ae2-66bacea1e457/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/6b2b3a5e-d813-4f57-9d35-e084e9e7d60a Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/punps.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.punps.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=punps.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/punps.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/punps.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 00:45:52 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, punps.fun, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting Pump.fun, a decentralized platform for token launches. Analysis indicates the site advertised a fraudulent cashback scheme, promising users 30% reimbursement for losses incurred from rug pulls—a common social engineering tactic in cryptocurrency scams. The page title, 'Pump.fun Cashback | Get 30% Back on Rug Pull Losses,' directly exploits user trust in the legitimate platform to lure victims into interacting with malicious infrastructure. Technical indicators confirm punps.fun as a high-risk threat. The domain resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and was registered on June 01, 2024, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It is detected by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on four distinct blocklists. SSL certification is provided by Google Trust Services, while Cloudflare and HTTP/3 technologies were employed to obscure backend infrastructure. The domain was previously referenced in two AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulses, further validating its malicious intent. As of the latest assessment, punps.fun has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions by security providers such as MetaMask, PhishDestroy, SEAL, and Maltrail. Despite its current inactive status, residual risk persists for users who may have engaged with the domain prior to its takedown. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for unauthorized transactions, revoke permissions for suspicious smart contracts, and verify domain authenticity before interacting with any cryptocurrency-related platform. Proactive blocking of the domain and associated IP addresses is recommended to prevent potential re-emergence. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260609-053D8F Favicon MD5: 3b95f264ba9ca3874a7cd5528ce97142 TLS cert SHA-256: b55317e78a519060c525e56684a1692ae21a5ae5fc07076c32deea7a42cdd4d8 ## 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 (operator 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/punps.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=punps.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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
