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: ["armfazh.ns.cloudflare.com", "christina.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-29 Page title: Captcha ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-05-06 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 86ebcc1b82e92a6705fb2e579fa1f381e696b107921e108728b41d00c5cad40f ## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Status: pending notification queue. No abuse reports filed yet — this domain is waiting for the next cycle of our automated abuse-reporter. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-03-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-03-29 02:37:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-28 23:39:23 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 06:05:53 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 05:05:49 UTC Current status: ACTIVE — cloaked behind HTTP 666 to evade scanners 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/019d36ce-a366-771a-9d8e-d7cbbc25a3a7/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/7f01c581-38ab-4dac-bac1-ae33e687da61 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken-web.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken-web.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken-web.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken-web.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken-web.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-29 02:38:06 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-web.cc as an active brand impersonation domain masquerading as Kraken, a leading cryptocurrency exchange. This domain (kraken-web.cc) specifically poses as a crypto drainer, designed to trick users into connecting wallets and approve malicious token transfers. The threat actor leverages the Kraken brand to build trust, redirecting victims to fraudulent login pages or fake deposit interfaces to steal cryptocurrency assets. Once connected, a crypto drainer script silently drains funds without user confirmation, often exploiting permissioned smart contracts. This domain is engineered for deception and financial theft, making it a high-risk threat to cryptocurrency users. This domain was flagged by 6 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, indicating moderate detection but high confidence in its malicious intent. kraken-web.cc resolves to IP address 172.67.205.2 and utilizes a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to appear legitimate. The domain was created on June 13, 2025, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. These technical indicators—combined with impersonation of a major brand and recent registration—are consistent with fast-flux or bulletproof hosting tactics used by advanced phishing operators. The low domain age and immediate deployment of malicious infrastructure suggest this campaign is part of a coordinated, evolving threat. If you visited kraken-web.cc or entered any credentials, immediately disconnect your wallet using PhishDestroy’s de-permission tool and revoke any suspicious token approvals via tools like revoke.cash or Etherscan. Never reuse passwords across platforms, and verify URLs manually by typing the official domain (kraken.com). Report the domain to your wallet provider and local cybercrime unit. For ongoing protection, enable multi-factor authentication and monitor wallet activity for unauthorized transactions. PhishDestroy continues to monitor this domain and recommends users exercise extreme caution when encountering unsolicited links referencing Kraken. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260328-E47E96 Favicon MD5: 8bdab3000d7d902815bb4970f07d2a83 TLS cert SHA-256: 86ebcc1b82e92a6705fb2e579fa1f381e696b107921e108728b41d00c5cad40f ## 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-web.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken-web.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.
