krokoswap[.]xyz

The domain krokoswap.xyz has been identified as a crypto drainer phishing site, designed to illicitly extract cryptocurrency assets from victims' wallets. Analysis indicates the domain is currently offline, though prior activity suggests it was actively targeting users through fraudulent decentralized finance (DeFi) or token swap interfaces. No specific brand impersonation has been confirmed, but the domain name mimics legitimate cryptocurrency exchange or swap platforms to deceive users into connecting their wallets. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on April 23, 2026, an unusually forward-dated registration that may indicate an attempt to evade detection or establish long-term malicious infrastructure. It resolved to the IP address 172.67.148.121, a Cloudflare-associated address commonly used to mask hosting providers and complicate takedown efforts. The domain appears on one security blocklist and has been flagged by 4 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, with detection names including phishing, fraudulent site, and wallet drainer. The SSL certificate was issued by Let's Encrypt, a legitimate certificate authority often exploited by threat actors to lend credibility to malicious domains. Current status indicates the domain has been taken offline, likely due to enforcement actions or hosting provider intervention. However, the infrastructure and registration details suggest the threat actor may re-establish operations under a new domain or IP address. Organizations and individuals are advised to block the domain and associated IP at the network level, monitor for similar domain registrations (e.g., typosquatting or brand-mimicking names), and educate users on verifying wallet connection prompts. Cryptocurrency wallet providers should flag or warn users attempting to interact with this domain or its resolved IP. Historical DNS and WHOIS records should be preserved for potential forensic analysis or legal proceedings.
