app[.]krakensales[.]net

Analysis of app.krakensales.net shows a domain created on 12 September 2025 that was used to host a fraudulent service targeting users of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. The site presented a page titled "Dashboard" and was identified as a crypto‑related scam, explicitly impersonating the Kraken brand. Infrastructure inspection reveals the domain resolves to IP address 18.239.18.124, which is registered to Amazon.com, Inc. (AS16509) and located in the Netherlands. The hosting environment utilizes Amazon Web Services and Amazon CloudFront, as indicated by the detected technologies and the four AWS name servers (ns-1345.awsdns-40.org, ns-1804.awsdns-33.co.uk, ns-299.awsdns-37.com, ns-713.awsdns).

No SSL certificate was observed, and the site is currently taken offline. Reputation data shows a Gridinsoft trust score of 0 / 100 and the domain appears on a single security blocklist. Eight of ninety‑five VirusTotal scanners flagged the domain, and it has been blocked by the PhishDestroy service. Registration was performed through Hostinger Operations, UAB.

While the domain is no longer active, the combination of a recent registration date, brand impersonation, low trust score, and multiple detections indicates a high likelihood of malicious intent. Defenders should add the domain and its resolving IP to deny‑list rules, monitor for any re‑registration attempts, and consider extending detection signatures to cover similar AWS‑hosted impersonation patterns. Continuous threat‑intel feeds should be consulted for emerging variants that may reuse the same infrastructure or target the Kraken brand.
