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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-17 13:41:33 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-07-22 00:20:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019ed561-2205-7109-8958-b6e376ee868a/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/krab7.im crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.krab7.im Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=krab7.im AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/krab7.im URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/krab7.im/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 20:23:15 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] krab7.im: Active Kraken Brand Impersonation Threat Detected The domain krab7.im is currently flagged as an active brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange platform. This domain is designed to deceive users by mimicking legitimate Kraken services, potentially leading to unauthorized access or asset theft. Analysis indicates the domain remains operational and poses an elevated risk to individuals and organizations associated with the targeted brand. Infrastructure analysis reveals that krab7.im is flagged by 2 of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited but confirmed detection. The domain resolves to the IP address 172.67.189.135 and employs technologies such as PHP, HSTS, and Cloudflare, which are commonly used to obfuscate malicious activity and enhance domain resilience. The page title, "Kraken - Действующие ссылки и практические руководства от экспертов," suggests a focus on Russian-speaking users, further aligning with tactics observed in targeted brand impersonation campaigns. The domain appears on one security blocklist, reinforcing its classification as a malicious entity. Current status confirms that krab7.im remains active, with no indications of takedown or mitigation efforts. Users and organizations are advised to implement immediate countermeasures, including blocking the domain and associated IP address at the network perimeter. Security teams should monitor for any attempts to access krab7.im within their environments and conduct retrospective analysis to identify potential prior interactions. End-users should be educated on recognizing brand impersonation tactics, particularly those involving cryptocurrency platforms, and encouraged to verify domain authenticity through official channels before engaging with any related content. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 05ff70f7016c3c8bc5287008c40b2452 TLS cert SHA-256: 86ae79ed838fdba88a019d86758ae7d7d93eeceaf4126ef66d68ad673afb4a6a ## 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/krab7.im/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=krab7.im 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.
