Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies darkmarket-kraken.com as a malicious domain actively impersonating the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. This site is designed to deceive users into connecting crypto wallets or entering credentials, enabling crypto drainers to steal assets. The threat is not a generic phishing attempt but a targeted brand impersonation attack leveraging Kraken’s reputation to trick victims into transferring funds or exposing sensitive data. This domain was flagged with specific high-risk indicators: it shows 0 detections out of 95 on VirusTotal, indicating recent evasion of antivirus engines. Registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on August 15, 2025, it resolves to IP 172.67.168.40. The domain uses a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate, further increasing its deceptive potential. If you visited darkmarket-kraken.com, disconnect any connected wallets immediately and revoke any permissions granted. Do not enter any credentials or download files. Use a reputable security tool to scan your device. Report the domain to Kraken’s abuse team and your local cybercrime unit. Avoid interacting with any links or pop-ups on this site to prevent further compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260421-699707 Favicon MD5: 58473f32de2e00c70d83bb56c3a6830e TLS cert SHA-256: 9a50f9fff8f0ebd57d9420cf664fa0af1d2f82f461b03a9ae8cd2ccb9362b933 ## 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/darkmarket-kraken.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=darkmarket-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.
