================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-23 06:52:11 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/krab--2at.ru/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 52/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/94 security vendors flagged this domain
URLQuery:        -1 detections
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-28

## 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: 2026-03-28 (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:     2026-07-23 08:20:52 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-29 12:24:53 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

krab--2at.ru: Phishing Domain Targeting Users

The domain krab--2at.ru, associated with phishing activities, is currently offline. Despite its takedown, it was flagged by 2 out of 94 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating its malicious nature. Additionally, it appears on one public blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy's, highlighting its threat level before being neutralized.

Phishing domains like krab--2at.ru often exploit the time gap between domain registration and the updating of antivirus databases. This domain, created on March 28, 2026, was identified and listed by PhishDestroy early in its lifecycle, showcasing the effectiveness of upstream threat detection. The presence of this domain on a public blocklist underscores the importance of proactive threat identification and mitigation.

While krab--2at.ru is no longer active, its brief existence serves as a reminder of the persistent threat posed by phishing operations. Cybercriminals frequently register new domains to deceive users and extract sensitive information. Continuous monitoring and rapid response are crucial in minimizing the impact of such threats. By capturing these domains early, PhishDestroy helps protect users from potential harm.

## 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.
