  - www.blastthekraken.com

## 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

First reported:    2026-04-22 13:11:48 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-06-03 04:26:32 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-06 17:35:54 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-04-22 16:11:29 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies BlastTheKraken.com as an active brand impersonation domain targeting Kraken users. This domain is engineered to mimic Kraken’s branding to deploy a crypto drainer kit, a malicious script designed to siphon cryptocurrency assets from victims’ wallets upon interaction. The infrastructure and naming strategy are crafted to exploit user trust in the legitimate Kraken exchange platform. No secondary drainer kit signatures (e.g., Angel Drainer, Inferno Drainer) have been confirmed at this time, but the domain’s behavior aligns with known drainer-as-a-service (DaaS) operations observed in the wild.

This domain resolves to IP address 75.2.60.5 and is registered through Squarespace Domains LLC. Domain creation date is March 31, 2026, indicating recent deployment—an unusual timing for a legitimate financial service. VirusTotal detection rate is critically low at 1 out of 95 security vendors as of the latest scan, suggesting a high evasion profile. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) status and other blocklist counts have not been publicly confirmed, but the low VT score strongly implies limited global blocking coverage. The use of a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate (valid and not self-signed) enhances the domain’s credibility, making it more likely to bypass user scrutiny.

As of the latest intelligence, BlastTheKraken.com remains active and unblocked by major browsers or security vendors. Immediate containment actions are required: network-level blocking via DNS or firewall rules targeting IP 75.2.60.5 and domain name; browser security policy updates to flag or block the domain; and user awareness alerts to avoid visiting or interacting with the site. The elevated risk stems from the domain’s recent activation, low detection rate, and direct targeting of a reputable financial brand. Remaining risk is high due to the likelihood of continued operation and potential for domain/IP rotation. Users should verify all URLs via official Kraken channels and use hardware wallets or verified browser extensions for crypto transactions. Organizations are advised to add this domain and IP to blocklists and monitor for related artifacts in network traffic.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
PhishDestroy Case ID:  PD-20260422-E7D7E4
Favicon MD5:       e0dc6025f3ad91101529eaab3879cf79
TLS cert SHA-256:      8ed185ccbfbd52f171f9fe34f27d2e6b3b9d796e1c47d0ba4224cf5e38b5c148

## 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.
