# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kraken-telegram.cc ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-04-24 04:40:52 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken-telegram.cc/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 98/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Impersonation Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 6/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CyRadar, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet, SOCRadar URLQuery: 4 detections ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 172.67.148.215 (CA, Toronto) ASN: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. Hosting org: Cloudflare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources: https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-real https://phishdestroy.io/nicenic-verdict Nameservers: ["andronicus.ns.cloudflare.com", "gail.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-26 Page title: Кракен Telegram — вход, шоп и поддержка HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-07-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: bdb18b6877a9ca6ef14984f889ad2d4cef2943c901f5ef899674fa837e56792f ## 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: 2026-03-26 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-27 01:46:54 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-26 22:47:52 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:13:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-11 04:15:34 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d2c51-f784-778a-8901-75bfb117355e/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/aead9f58-5fad-4919-b91e-be471744cc35 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken-telegram.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken-telegram.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken-telegram.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken-telegram.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken-telegram.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-27 01:47:36 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy has identified kraken-telegram.cc as an elevated-risk brand impersonation attack targeting Kraken users. This domain attempts to deceive individuals into believing they are interacting with the official Kraken platform, potentially leading to credential theft or cryptocurrency loss. This domain, registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, resolves to IP address 172.67.148.215. As of the latest analysis, VirusTotal reports that 4 out of 95 security vendors have flagged kraken-telegram.cc as malicious. The domain was created on August 12, 2025, and uses an SSL certificate issued by Google Trust Services. To mitigate the risk posed by this brand impersonation, users should exercise extreme caution when encountering kraken-telegram.cc or any communication referencing it. Verify the authenticity of websites and communications by independently navigating to Kraken's official website. Do not enter credentials or provide sensitive information on kraken-telegram.cc. Report any suspected phishing attempts to Kraken's security team and consider blocking the domain to prevent accidental access. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260326-A547CE Favicon MD5: 06ef92b689fa080cb0d67fc8a7596abd TLS cert SHA-256: bdb18b6877a9ca6ef14984f889ad2d4cef2943c901f5ef899674fa837e56792f ## 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-telegram.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken-telegram.cc 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.
