# PhishDestroy threat dossier — klarna-app.biz ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-01 16:03:45 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/klarna-app.biz/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Google ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.177.35 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

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: 2026-06-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-07-01 06:01:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-01 16:30:14 UTC Neutralised: 2026-07-01 12:02:52 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f1bd5-abd5-7487-a224-1d4328521946/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/klarna-app.biz crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.klarna-app.biz Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=klarna-app.biz AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/klarna-app.biz URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/klarna-app.biz/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-01 06:06:05 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, klarna-app.biz, is identified as a high-risk phishing site specifically designed to impersonate Klarna, a widely used payment service provider. Analysis indicates the domain is currently active and engineered to deceive users into submitting sensitive financial or personal credentials under the pretense of legitimate Klarna account verification or payment processing. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolves to IP address 172.67.177.35 and is secured with an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services, a common tactic used by threat actors to create a false sense of legitimacy. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been flagged by 1 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but confirmed detection. The domain's hosting and certificate infrastructure suggest an attempt to mimic legitimate Klarna services, increasing the likelihood of successful credential harvesting. The domain remains active and poses a significant risk to users unfamiliar with legitimate Klarna domains. Organizations and individuals are advised to block access to klarna-app.biz at the network level and update endpoint protection rules to include this domain. Users who may have interacted with the site should immediately reset their Klarna account credentials and monitor for unauthorized transactions. Security teams are encouraged to correlate this indicator with other known phishing infrastructure to identify potential campaign linkages. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 90106c40b05bf6eb2529d44b427cf504 TLS cert SHA-256: 0065c9641863aaec65f3ec9cfc31e3ef3fc64ee756ff80d0a25e588cba0a706e ## 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/klarna-app.biz/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=klarna-app.biz 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.
