No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2025-05-14 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-16 18:26:18 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-03-31 01:08:21 UTC (STALE — 24 days ago, re-verify) Flagged dead: 2026-03-16 03:13:43 UTC (NOT RE-VERIFIED IN 24 DAYS — treat as unconfirmed) Current status: UNCONFIRMED (our live-probe is 24 days stale) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019b2868-f623-70df-b011-4fdfb6ef4448/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/askkraken.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.askkraken.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=askkraken.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/askkraken.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/askkraken.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-19 05:18:19 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies askkraken.net as a medium-risk brand impersonation site targeting Kraken customers. The domain aimed to deceive users by mimicking Kraken's brand and interface. Supporting evidence includes its recent registration on May 14, 2025, resolution to IP 13.248.243.5, and registration via GoDaddy.com, LLC. VirusTotal flagged it with 4 of 95 vendors, and it appeared on two security blocklists. The Gridinsoft trust score rates it very low at 0/100. The site has been taken offline, reducing immediate risk. Users should remain vigilant and avoid engaging with suspicious Kraken-related domains. Employ phishing filters and keep security software updated to mitigate similar threats. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - VirusTotal detections: now 4/95 (narrative was written when count was lower) ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 2c0b8b1b44960fa5584fb5d8f1bb50e21662ec06a70fca8eedf8299c69f2e2ba TLS cert SHA-256: b8e3ab0648596b65f47d952e6bd28eab111aa54d91b3e52605b6fe32342ee9bb ## 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/askkraken.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=askkraken.net 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.
