Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies the domain admin.kraken.com.sc as an active brand impersonation threat targeting Kraken users. This domain closely mimics Kraken’s legitimate admin subdomain (admin.kraken.com) to deceive users into entering credentials or installing malicious software. While no specific drainer kit has been verified, the domain’s structure suggests a credential theft campaign designed to harvest login details for cryptocurrency exchange accounts. The low detection rate on VirusTotal (0/95) and use of a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate indicate this threat is evolving and may evade initial detection by traditional security tools. This domain was flagged by Google Safe Bracing as a social engineering site and resolves to IP address 172.86.107.2. Registered through Ultahost, Inc. on April 24, 2026, it has not yet been widely blacklisted, maintaining a clean blocklist count. These technical indicators, combined with the recent domain creation and lack of detections, suggest a targeted, short-lived campaign designed to exploit user trust in the Kraken brand. The domain remains active with a current status of 'under investigation.' Users are advised to avoid interacting with this domain and its associated IP. Kraken has not confirmed this as a legitimate subdomain. Immediate action includes blocking the domain and IP at the network level, updating endpoint protection with latest signatures, and educating users about verifying domain authenticity. While risk is evolving due to low detection rates, the combination of recent creation, social engineering flags, and brand impersonation tactics elevates the threat level to critical for cryptocurrency users. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 5/91 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260501-70ECFF TLS cert SHA-256: 1de4fcc9bee5920e38806b8ef279834be88baefd3c792b2e0d8c0f3ad272a91a ## 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 (volunteer 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/admin.kraken.com.sc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=admin.kraken.com.sc Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
