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: 2025-09-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-26 23:21:09 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-30 18:07:53 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-09 12:44:16 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/01999777-2af0-77bf-8720-1313232adfb8/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/try-pump.fun crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.try-pump.fun Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=try-pump.fun AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/try-pump.fun URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/try-pump.fun/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 01:38:24 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies try-pump.fun as a high-risk brand impersonation domain targeting the legitimate Pump.fun service. Classified under brand impersonation, this domain seeks to deceive users by mimicking the original brand, increasing the likelihood of phishing attacks or fraudulent activities. The domain's page title matches the domain name, suggesting an attempt to closely replicate the authentic site’s appearance and branding. Technical analysis reveals that try-pump.fun was registered recently on February 21, 2026, indicating a newly established threat actor infrastructure. The domain currently appears on one security blocklist and is flagged by 13 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, confirming its malicious reputation. These indicators collectively suggest an active campaign leveraging this domain to lure unsuspecting users. The domain’s use of the .fun top-level domain aligns with common tactics where threat actors exploit less-regulated extensions to host phishing content. At present, try-pump.fun remains active and continues to pose a significant risk to users attempting to access Pump.fun. PhishDestroy advises caution and recommends blocking or avoiding this domain to mitigate exposure. Security teams should monitor this domain for further malicious activities and update defenses accordingly. Prompt reporting and blocking are essential to prevent potential credential theft or fraud facilitated through this impersonation site. ## 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/try-pump.fun/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=try-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.
