Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kr4ken.net/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Impersonation
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      1/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registrar:       Cloudflare, Inc.
Nameservers:     ["ulla.ns.cloudflare.com", "watson.ns.cloudflare.com"]
Registered:      2026-03-29

## 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: 2026-03-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-04 20:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-04-17 13:21:15 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-18 17:37:04 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies kr4ken.net as a domain involved in brand impersonation, specifically targeting the Kraken brand, with no known drainer kit associated with this threat. The domain kr4ken.net has a VirusTotal score of 1/95, indicating a relatively low detection rate among security vendors, and is registered with a registrar that has been linked to various malicious activities, hosting on an IP address that has been flagged in the past, created on March 29, 2026, and currently has a Google Safe Browsing status that is not explicitly clean, appearing on 1 security blocklist. 

 This domain was flagged by AlienVault OTX in 1 threat intelligence pulse, highlighting its potential risk, with technical indicators suggesting a moderate to high risk level due to its brand impersonation tactics, and while the current status of kr4ken.net is offline, the risk level remains elevated, prompting users to exercise caution when encountering similar domains, and to always verify the authenticity of websites before providing sensitive information, as brand impersonation threats can lead to significant financial losses and compromised personal data. 

 As kr4ken.net is currently offline, response actions have been effective in mitigating the immediate threat, however, the threat actor behind this domain may still be active, and users should remain vigilant, monitoring for potential new domains or tactics, and reporting any suspicious activity to the relevant authorities, with the unique seed e52d45 associated with this threat, allowing for ongoing tracking and analysis of related malicious activities.

## 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.
