# PhishDestroy threat dossier — atomic.cryptolect.net ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-21 01:09:31 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/atomic.cryptolect.net/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 7/95 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: CRDF, CyRadar, Emsisoft, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Google Safebrowsing, Netcraft URLQuery: 2 detections Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 20.253.209.122 (US, San Jose) Hosting org: AS8075 Microsoft Corporation Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC Nameservers: ns1.afraid.org, ns2.afraid.org, ns3.afraid.org, ns4.afraid.org Registered: 2012-08-10 Expires: 2026-08-10 Page title: Kraken Wallet HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-08 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 4bac4ee031cffc44a33c971098de4f1364fdff9469b2978d77e6c5d76fba67ae ## 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: 2012-08-10 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-17 06:17:42 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-17 14:33:10 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-21 03:06:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-18 00:25:53 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed3cb-db6b-767c-804f-373c3061210f/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/2a4d5623-cade-4930-a0c3-626fed4321aa Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/atomic.cryptolect.net crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.atomic.cryptolect.net Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=atomic.cryptolect.net AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/atomic.cryptolect.net URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/atomic.cryptolect.net/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-18 16:35:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain atomic.cryptolect.net has been identified as a brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. Currently marked as offline, this site was designed to deceive users into believing they were accessing a legitimate Kraken wallet interface, likely to harvest login credentials and private keys. Technical analysis reveals that the domain was created on August 10, 2012, and resolves to the IP address 20.253.209.122. It is registered through GoDaddy.com, LLC and uses an SSL certificate issued by Let's Encrypt (YE1), which adds a false sense of security. VirusTotal reports indicate that 7 out of 95 security vendors flag this domain as malicious, and it appears on three security blocklists. These indicators collectively point to a high-risk asset designed for phishing purposes. Given that the site has been taken offline, the immediate threat is neutralized, but users should remain vigilant. PhishDestroy recommends that anyone who may have interacted with this domain change their Kraken account credentials immediately and enable two-factor authentication. For future safety, always verify URLs before entering sensitive information and rely on official Kraken communication channels. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260617-F7412D TLS cert SHA-256: 4bac4ee031cffc44a33c971098de4f1364fdff9469b2978d77e6c5d76fba67ae ## 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/atomic.cryptolect.net/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=atomic.cryptolect.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.
