NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with
illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response. Primary sources:

Fingerprint: a218880f8d65de36401d9668063f1a8c735b141a5bb0ed88c557e603e58e328c

## 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.

kraken1.net: Confirmed Brand Impersonation Scam

Analysis of the domain kraken1.net, reported on July 19, 2026, indicates it is actively engaged in brand impersonation with a high-risk level associated with the Kraken brand. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, and resolves to the IP address 178.20.210.35, located in Kazakhstan, specifically associated with the Shereverov network. The domain currently has an HTTP status code of 301, suggesting that it may be redirecting users, which is a common tactic in phishing schemes. The domain has been flagged by 6 out of 91 security vendors on VirusTotal and appears on one security blocklist, indicating a notable level of concern among cybersecurity professionals. Additionally, it has been identified in two threat intelligence pulses on AlienVault OTX. The nameservers associated with the domain are hold1.suspendedaccount.com and hold2.suspendedaccount.com, which may imply potential use for hosting malicious content. Given the current status of the domain as active and its high-risk classification, it is recommended that defenders block this domain and monitor for any communications that may attempt to exploit the Kraken brand.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      a218880f8d65de36401d9668063f1a8c735b141a5bb0ed88c557e603e58e328c

## 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.
