Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain assist-kraken.com has been identified as a threat due to its involvement in brand impersonation targeting Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. This domain is associated with a crypto drainer scheme, designed to deceive users into divulging sensitive information by mimicking Kraken's branding and services. The domain's activities suggest it is part of a larger network of phishing operations aimed at exploiting cryptocurrency users. Technical analysis of assist-kraken.com reveals several concerning indicators. The domain is flagged by 7 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating a moderate level of detection among industry tools. It is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED and was created on June 11, 2026, suggesting it is a relatively new domain. The domain's IP address and other hosting details may require further investigation to determine the full extent of its network. It is currently listed on 3 security blocklists and has been included in 4 threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX, reinforcing its status as a high-risk domain. Currently, assist-kraken.com remains active and poses an elevated risk to users. It is blocked by several security services, including MetaMask, PhishDestroy, and SEAL, which offers some level of protection for users of these services. However, users should be advised to exercise caution and verify the authenticity of any communications purporting to be from Kraken. Organizations are encouraged to update their security protocols and block this domain to prevent potential credential theft and financial loss. Continuous monitoring of this domain and associated IP addresses is recommended to mitigate further risks. ## 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/assist-kraken.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=assist-kraken.com 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.
