# PhishDestroy threat dossier — krab4a-t.ru
================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 09:41:02 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/krab4a-t.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
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai
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:     2026-07-22 08:20:51 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-30 12:06:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

krab4a-t.ru — Phishing Investigation Report

This domain, krab4a-t.ru, has been assessed at an elevated risk level for generic phishing activity. The threat type indicates it was likely designed to deceive users into revealing sensitive information, though no specific brand impersonation has been confirmed. The domain is currently offline, which reduces immediate danger but does not eliminate the risk of reactivation or related domains.

PhishDestroy's analysis reveals several technical indicators: VirusTotal shows 2 out of 95 security vendors flagging this domain as malicious. The domain was created on March 28, 2026, and appears on one security blocklist. AlienVault OTX includes it in one threat intelligence pulse. The domain's registration details and IP address were not provided, but the creation date and blocklist presence suggest a relatively new but already flagged entity. The elevated risk level is supported by these data points, though the low vendor detection rate may indicate limited circulation or a targeted campaign.

Users who may have encountered krab4a-t.ru should avoid interacting with it, especially by entering credentials or personal data. Since it is a generic phishing domain, no specific brand is targeted, but typical phishing lures include fake login pages or urgent security alerts. If any credentials were submitted, they should be changed immediately on the legitimate services. Monitor accounts for suspicious activity and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Report the domain to relevant authorities or security platforms to aid in takedown efforts.

[Updates since narrative was generated:]
  - WHOIS creation date: 2026-03-28
  - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed

## 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.
