TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 75/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
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: 2026-07-03 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-07-05 20:51:26 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-07-13 04:20:41 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-07-06 00:01:41 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-07-05 20:54:39 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, 291325kraken.com, is flagged for brand impersonation targeting the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. Analysis indicates the domain mimics legitimate Kraken branding to deceive users into disclosing credentials or transferring assets. No specific drainer kit signatures were identified, but the domain structure and naming convention strongly suggest intent to exploit trust in the Kraken brand for fraudulent purposes.

Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on July 03, 2026, through OwnRegistrar, Inc., and currently resolves to the IP address 104.21.5.244. VirusTotal detection shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious. The SSL certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, which does not inherently validate legitimacy. No entries were found on Google Safe Browsing (GSB) at the time of analysis, and no additional blocklist records were identified beyond the VirusTotal detections.

The domain remains active, with no takedown or sinkholing observed. Response actions should include immediate blocking of the domain and IP at the network perimeter, as well as monitoring for user interactions. Despite the low VirusTotal detection rate, the high-risk nature of brand impersonation targeting cryptocurrency users warrants proactive mitigation. Organizations are advised to alert users about the domain and implement email filtering rules to prevent delivery of messages containing this domain or its associated IP.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c52910457c6fdb838dc43066bbb2116c023d55eb2e6208823e433ae450834f88

## 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 (operator 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.
