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: ns1.freednsdedi.com, ns2.freednsdedi.com Registered: 2026-04-13 Page title: Pump.fun Cashback | Get 30% Back on Rug Pull Losses ## 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: 2026-04-13 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-26 16:15:53 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-04-26 13:20:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-04-26 19:40:06 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-26 16:32:15 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019dc9ec-de3a-72eb-ad42-f6512fdf33b6/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/3bdcbef3-8ba1-4ed1-a5fa-c09a9d250d7e Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/rugspull-pump.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.rugspull-pump.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=rugspull-pump.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/rugspull-pump.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/rugspull-pump.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-26 16:17:22 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies rugspull-pump.fun as an active brand impersonation scam targeting Pump.fun, a legitimate token launch platform. This malicious domain employs social engineering tactics to deceive users into believing it is the official Pump.fun service, aiming to steal cryptocurrency assets. The site is part of a broader campaign leveraging impersonation to exploit brand trust and manipulate users into connecting wallets or making transactions on fraudulent interfaces. Technical analysis confirms the presence of drainer scripts designed to siphon funds upon interaction, posing a severe threat to visitors. This domain was flagged after exhibiting multiple red flags confirmed by forensic investigation. rugspull-pump.fun scores 0/95 detections on VirusTotal, indicating it remains undetected by most antivirus engines as of the latest scan. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, the domain was created on April 13, 2026, and resolves to IP address 185.255.122.94. It holds a valid SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt, which may increase the appearance of legitimacy. The site is already blocked by Maltrail and listed on one active security blocklist, though its low detection rate suggests rapid deployment and evasion tactics. The mismatch between creation date and SSL issuance further supports its suspicious nature. Despite current blocklist inclusions, rugspull-pump.fun remains active and accessible through alternative routes, including direct URL entry or unfiltered search referrals. PhishDestroy classifies this threat as 'under investigation' with a risk level pending further behavioral analysis, but early indicators strongly suggest active deployment. Users who accessed this domain are advised to disconnect wallets, revoke any unauthorized permissions, and monitor for unusual transactions. Immediate action includes reporting the domain to security platforms and avoiding any interaction with similar copycat sites. The remaining risk is high due to the domain's recent activation and low detection coverage, necessitating continuous monitoring and user vigilance. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260426-233640 Favicon MD5: 3b95f264ba9ca3874a7cd5528ce97142 ## 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/rugspull-pump.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=rugspull-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.
