Reporting Period
June 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026
Introduction
This report provides a factual summary of abuse-related complaint activity recorded by NiceNIC during June 2026.
As part of our ongoing transparency effort, NiceNIC publishes monthly abuse data to provide clearer visibility into complaint volume, abuse category distribution, response timing, domain pausing activity, and recovery outcomes.
This monthly report reflects the cases recorded during June 2026 and is intended to support public accountability, customer understanding, and continued improvement of NiceNIC's abuse handling process.
NiceNIC will continue to make abuse handling data more visible through regular reporting and public transparency updates.
Monthly Overview
During June 2026, NiceNIC recorded:
Total Complaints: 21,269
Total Domains Involved: 8,837
Average Response Time: 2.6 days
Total Paused Domains: 4,580
Pause Rate: 51.83%
Recovered Domains: 133
Recovery Rate: 2.9%
The June data shows that phishing remained the largest complaint category, accounting for more than half of all complaints recorded during the month.
The top five categories: Phishing, Drugs, Other, Fraud, and Trademark accounted for the vast majority of the monthly complaint volume. This shows that June complaint activity was concentrated in a limited number of categories rather than evenly distributed across all abuse types.
The pause rate for June was 51.83%. This means that domain-level action was taken where the available evidence met the required handling threshold. A lower pause rate does not mean reduced enforcement. It reflects the specific mix of complaint quality, evidence strength, domain status, duplicate submissions, remediation outcomes, and case classification during the reporting period.
Complaint Categories
The complaint categories recorded in June 2026 were as follows:
1. Phishing
11,138 cases
52.37% of total complaints
Phishing remained the largest abuse category in June. NiceNIC continues to prioritize timely review and mitigation where phishing activity is confirmed by credible evidence.
2. Drugs
3,250 cases
15.28%
Drug-related complaints represented the second largest category in June. These reports are reviewed based on the evidence provided, the domain's role in the reported activity, and whether registrar-level mitigation is appropriate.
3. Other
2,853 cases
13.41%
This category may include reports that do not fit neatly into the main abuse classifications, reports with incomplete categorization, or cases where further review is needed before a more specific classification can be assigned.
NiceNIC will continue improving internal classification accuracy so future reporting can provide more precise segmentation wherever possible.
4. Fraud
1,832 cases
8.61%
Fraud reports often require careful review because the reported issue may involve website content, third-party hosting, payment behavior, customer disputes, or evidence outside the domain registration layer.
5. Trademark
1,114 cases
5.24%
These cases are reviewed carefully because not every trademark-related dispute qualifies as DNS abuse. Some cases may require formal dispute resolution, court process, UDRP/URS procedures, or additional evidence before registrar-level action is appropriate.
6. Spam
461 cases
2.17%
Spam complaints represented 2.17% of the monthly total.
Spam-related reports are reviewed based on the role of the domain in the reported activity. Where spam is connected to phishing, malware distribution, botnet activity, or other qualifying abuse patterns, the case may require escalation.
7. Pharming
459 cases
2.16%
Pharming complaints accounted for 2.16% of June complaints. Because pharming can affect DNS integrity and user safety, confirmed cases are subject to strict review and mitigation procedures.
8. Malware
134 cases
0.63%
Malware-related complaints represented a smaller portion of June's total complaint volume.
9. Botnet
20 cases
0.09%
Botnet-related reports were limited in volume during June but remain operationally important.
10. CSAM
7 cases
0.03%
CSAM-related reports are handled with strict escalation and high sensitivity. These reports require careful handling, proper documentation, and appropriate action based on the evidence and applicable procedures.
11. Unclassified Internal Category
1 case
Less than 0.01%
One item was recorded under an internal placeholder category during the reporting period. It is included here for completeness and will continue to be reviewed as part of NiceNIC's reporting and classification improvement process.
Response Time Analysis
The average response time in June was 2.6 days.
Some abuse reports can be reviewed quickly when the evidence is complete, the reported URL is active, and the domain’s role in the abuse is clear.
Other cases require additional checks. For example, a report may involve a compromised website, a third-party hosting provider, a redirect chain, incomplete evidence, a duplicate submission, a civil dispute, or a case where the reported content is no longer active by the time of review.
NiceNIC's goal is to process reports responsibly, not mechanically. Speed matters, but abuse handling also requires evidence validation, proportional action, proper documentation, and a recovery path for legitimate domain holders when remediation is possible.
For security researchers, brand owners, hosting providers, or affected users, abuse reports can be submitted through NiceNIC's abuse reporting channel.
Paused Domains and Recovery
In June 2026, NiceNIC paused 4,580 domains, representing a 51.83% pause rate.
A paused domain means that action was taken where the report was supported by sufficient evidence and met the required handling standard. This may include cases involving confirmed phishing, malware, pharming, botnet activity, or other serious abuse patterns.
At the same time, 133 domains were recovered, with a 2.9% recovery rate.
Recovery is an important part of responsible abuse handling. A domain may become eligible for recovery when the holder removes harmful content, fixes a compromised website, corrects DNS or hosting misconfiguration, provides valid evidence, or demonstrates that the original report was incomplete or no longer active.
NiceNIC's objective is not only to stop confirmed abuse, but also to protect legitimate domain use where the issue can be corrected and verified.
Operational and Compliance Perspective
NiceNIC's abuse handling process is built around structured intake, evidence review, proportional mitigation, and documented outcomes.
Our workflow includes:
Phishing remained the central abuse category, while drug-related, fraud-related, trademark-related, and "Other" complaints also contributed significantly to the overall complaint volume. This mix requires different handling approaches depending on the type of report, available evidence, and the role of the domain in the reported activity.
What NiceNIC Will Continue Improving
The June report highlights several areas for continued improvement.
First, phishing remains the largest category and will continue to receive high-priority review.
Second, the "Other" category still represents a meaningful share of complaint volume. NiceNIC will continue improving classification accuracy so that future reports can provide clearer segmentation.
Third, response time remains an important operational metric. While 2.6 days reflects the average across all recorded cases, NiceNIC will continue improving internal workflow efficiency, especially for cases with complete and actionable evidence.
Fourth, recovery remains part of the process. Legitimate domain holders should have a clear route to resolve issues, provide evidence, and request review when a domain was compromised, cleaned, or incorrectly reported.
Closing Note
The June 2026 data shows that NiceNIC continued to review abuse reports, pause domains where evidence supported action, and restore domains where valid recovery conditions were met.
Publishing monthly abuse data is not about presenting only favorable numbers. It is about showing the real complaint volume, the categories received, the actions taken, and the outcomes recorded.
NiceNIC will continue publishing abuse reports as part of our commitment to transparency, accountability, and safer domain management.
Readers can also review previous NiceNIC abuse reports to compare monthly handling trends and category changes.
We welcome feedback from customers, resellers, security researchers, reporting organizations, and the wider internet community. Public trust is built through consistent action, clear data, and responsible handling of every valid report.
