foodsafety-certificate[.]org

On 24 July 2026 analysts observed the domain foodsafety-certificate.org was taken offline after being identified as a brand‑impersonation infrastructure targeting Kraken. The site resolved to the Cloudflare address 172.67.213.115, which is advertised as belonging to AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. in the United States. No TLS certificate was presented for the host, indicating the service was operating without HTTPS encryption. The domain was registered through NameCheap, Inc. on 3 October 2025, and the authoritative name servers are aspen.ns.cloudflare.com and watson.ns.cloudflare.com, confirming the use of Cloudflare’s DNS service.

VirusTotal scans returned 11 positive detections out of 95 submitted engines, and the domain appears on a single public blocklist. PhishDestroy has also listed the host as blocked, and Gridinsoft assigned a trust score of zero out of one hundred, reinforcing the malicious classification. AlienVault OTX reports one pulse referencing the domain, providing additional community corroboration. The HTTP response presented a page title that concatenated “Kraken - kraken16.at kraken17.at kraken18.at kraken19.at kraken20.at kraken21.at”, suggesting the page was intended to lure victims by referencing the legitimate Kraken brand.

The intelligence tags the activity as a crypto‑scam, consistent with the impersonation of a cryptocurrency exchange. Given the observed indicators, defenders should continue to block traffic to foodsafety-certificate.org at the DNS and network layers, monitor for any residual connections to the associated Cloudflare IP, and update internal threat feeds with the domain, its registrar, and the observed detection counts. Ongoing vigilance is advised in case the infrastructure is re‑hosted under a new domain.
