# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kraken.headlinehunter.at ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-06-28 06:12:50 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken.headlinehunter.at/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 1/91 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: SOCRadar Public blocklists: listed on 3 independent blocklists ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- IP address: 3.120.170.147 (DE, Frankfurt am Main) ASN: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Hosting org: AS16509 Amazon.com, Inc. Registrar: easyname GmbH ( https://nic.at/registrar/414 ) Nameservers: ns1.easyname.eu, ns2.easyname.eu Page title: Kraken HTTP response: 200 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / YE1 Expires: 2026-09-24 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: 6393807a9822484199edaa4b8bacbc0d4482aa4d04bd8a71d500dde09d6164d4 ## 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------- First detected: 2026-06-26 23:17:41 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-06-28 04:20:34 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-27 00:01:07 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f05ca-7d4b-764b-bb11-a17d85204f89/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken.headlinehunter.at crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken.headlinehunter.at Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken.headlinehunter.at AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken.headlinehunter.at URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken.headlinehunter.at/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-27 00:02:34 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, kraken.headlinehunter.at, has been identified as a phishing portal specifically targeting users of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange platform. The threat type is classified as brand impersonation, designed to deceive victims into disclosing sensitive credentials, including login details, two-factor authentication codes, and private wallet keys. As of the latest assessment, the domain has been taken offline, though prior activity remains under investigation. Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain resolved to the IP address 3.120.170.147, hosted on infrastructure that may have supported additional malicious activity. The domain was registered through easyname GmbH, a registrar associated with multiple prior abuse reports. Despite its deceptive design—including a page title of 'Kraken' and a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to feign legitimacy—the domain was not flagged by any of the 95 security vendors on VirusTotal at the time of analysis. This absence of detection highlights the domain's initial evasion of automated security controls, increasing its potential risk during its active period. Current status indicates the domain has been rendered inaccessible, though residual risk remains for users who may have interacted with it prior to takedown. Organizations and individuals are advised to monitor for unauthorized access to Kraken accounts, revoke any compromised credentials, and implement multi-factor authentication where not already enforced. Network defenders should block the IP address 3.120.170.147 and monitor for related domains registered through the same registrar. Users are urged to verify domain authenticity before entering sensitive information, particularly when prompted by unsolicited communications. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- TLS cert SHA-256: 6393807a9822484199edaa4b8bacbc0d4482aa4d04bd8a71d500dde09d6164d4 ## 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.headlinehunter.at/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken.headlinehunter.at 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.
