================================================================

Fetched:   2026-07-22 09:42:38 UTC
Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken-web.top/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 74/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Fake Exchange
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      2/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai
URLQuery:        -1 detections
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-29

## 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: 2026-03-29 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 08:20:50 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-30 03:00:24 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

kraken-web.top Fake Kraken Alert

PhishDestroy identifies kraken-web.top as a sophisticated brand impersonation domain specifically targeting Kraken cryptocurrency exchange users. The site was designed to mimic Kraken's login interface to harvest account credentials and potentially drain cryptocurrency wallets. This type of threat, known as brand impersonation combined with credential theft, poses a direct risk to users attempting to access their Kraken accounts.

Evidence from multiple security sources confirms the malicious nature of this domain. VirusTotal reports that 2 out of 95 security vendors flagged the domain as malicious, indicating broad detection across the security community. The domain was registered on March 29, 2026, and appeared on 1 security blocklist as well as in 1 AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, showing active monitoring by threat researchers. The registrar information is not publicly disclosed, but the recent creation date suggests a short-lived campaign designed to evade detection before being taken offline.

Users who have visited kraken-web.top or entered any credentials should immediately change their Kraken account passwords and enable two-factor authentication if not already active. It is also advisable to monitor account activity for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious behavior to Kraken's support team. For added safety, users should only access Kraken through the official website or mobile app and verify the URL carefully before logging in.

## 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.
