## 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
----------------------------------------------------------------

Last verified:     2026-04-21 08:30:37 UTC

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-19 01:23:28 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies kraken--hme.pages.dev as a high-risk phishing domain impersonating the Kraken brand. The site was created recently on February 21, 2026, with the intent to deceive users by mimicking Kraken’s identity. Its primary threat type is brand impersonation, aiming to harvest sensitive information or credentials from unsuspecting victims. This domain has been flagged by Google Safe Browsing for social engineering tactics, indicating attempts to manipulate users into unsafe actions.

The domain was registered through Cloudflare, Inc., and resolves to the IP address 188.114.97.3. VirusTotal analysis shows that 14 out of 95 security vendors have identified suspicious activity associated with this domain. Additionally, it appears on three distinct security blocklists, reinforcing its malicious nature. The page title encountered during analysis was "Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare," which suggests hosting on a Cloudflare Pages environment. These technical details highlight a coordinated effort to leverage trusted infrastructure for fraudulent purposes.

Currently, kraken--hme.pages.dev is offline, having been taken down likely in response to its malicious activity. PhishDestroy recommends users avoid interacting with any links or communications referencing this domain. Security teams should ensure their defenses block this domain and monitor for any related phishing attempts. Continued vigilance is advised for any new variations targeting Kraken or using similar domain patterns.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      18d6c568a9a3fe5520af2e1162f7b2bce0cc9a0ff7e92b978447af0528694783

## 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 (volunteer 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.
