# PhishDestroy threat dossier — knmp.st ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-31 02:51:32 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/knmp.st/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 100/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Generic Phishing ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, Gridinsoft, SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.222.113 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: Gransy s.r.o.

ОфициальР## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-08-21 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: e3ef3551eea5ebebd392c6b6a64d96933842f630b8135ff6c53d3ffb64a7b4cc ## 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: 2026-06-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-11 22:15:25 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-06-11 20:17:25 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-07-31 04:20:43 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-17 00:47:00 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019eb852-3dd6-7279-91ce-c6a9de86f840/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/073da9a0-3218-4484-88d6-ef19e83b834f Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/knmp.st crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.knmp.st Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=knmp.st AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/knmp.st URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/knmp.st/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-26 13:40:26 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] Is knmp.st a Fake Kraken Marketplace Phishing Site? This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk phishing site specifically targeting users of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was designed to mimic official Kraken marketplaces, likely to harvest login credentials, payment details, or distribute malware under the guise of legitimate services. The page title, displayed in Cyrillic, explicitly references an 'official Kraken site' with 'marketplace access,' a common tactic to deceive users into believing the fraudulent page is authentic. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain knmp.st was registered through Gransy s.r.o. on June 11, 2026, an unusually forward-dated creation that may indicate automated or bulk registration practices. It resolves to IP address 172.67.222.113 and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), which, while providing encryption, does not validate legitimacy. The domain appears on three security blocklists, and VirusTotal reports 6 out of 95 security vendors flagging it as malicious. The site is currently offline, but historical activity suggests it was operational long enough to pose a credible threat to unsuspecting users. Mitigation against this specific threat type involves several technical and procedural controls. Users should verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official exchange URLs and checking for subtle misspellings or unusual TLDs. Security teams are advised to block the domain and its resolving IP at perimeter defenses, including firewalls and DNS filters. If credentials were entered on this or similar sites, immediate password resets and multi-factor authentication enforcement are critical. Monitoring for unauthorized transactions or account access is recommended, particularly for cryptocurrency-related services. Organizations should also review logs for connections to 172.67.222.113 or related infrastructure to identify potential compromise. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260611-0FCE3B TLS cert SHA-256: e3ef3551eea5ebebd392c6b6a64d96933842f630b8135ff6c53d3ffb64a7b4cc ## 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 (operator 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/knmp.st/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=knmp.st 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
