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: 2025-12-02 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-02-25 02:39:27 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2025-12-02 16:25:27 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-27 16:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-02-23 03:15:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019adfe1-bf6e-757f-addd-f6aa561722bd/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken-contract.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken-contract.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken-contract.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken-contract.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken-contract.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-25 21:05:42 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] The domain kraken-contract.com poses a significant threat as a brand impersonation attack targeting Kraken users. This fraudulent site attempts to deceive visitors by mimicking the appearance and language of legitimate Kraken support pages, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information such as login credentials, personal details, and financial data. Analysis indicates that the domain was created on December 02, 2025, and registered through PDR Ltd. d/b/a PublicDomainRegistry.com. The site resolves to the IP address 92.53.96.141, which is located in Russia (RU) and is managed by AS9123 JSC TIMEWEB. VirusTotal, a widely-used platform for URL and domain analysis, has flagged this domain with 20 out of 95 security vendors identifying it as a threat. Additionally, the domain appears on one security blocklist and has been marked as a phishing site by Google Safe Browsing. Notably, the site does not have an SSL certificate, which is a common indicator of a non-secure and potentially malicious website. If users have visited kraken-contract.com, they are advised to take immediate action to secure their accounts. This includes changing passwords and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for Kraken and any other accounts that may have been compromised. Users should also monitor their accounts for any unauthorized activity and report any suspicious incidents to Kraken's official support channels. It is crucial to verify the URL and security certificates of any support page before entering sensitive information to avoid falling victim to brand impersonation attacks. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon SHA-256: 80c3fe2ae1062abf56456f52518bd670f9ec3917b7f85e152b347ac6b6faf880 ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken-contract.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken-contract.com 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: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
