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: ["dolly.ns.cloudflare.com", "javier.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-29 Page title: kraken2-web.cc HTTP response: 403 ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: none Status: INVALID chain ## 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 detected: 2026-03-29 02:41:31 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-21 16:12:54 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-29 23:43:03 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d36d2-0e73-76b9-9b2c-abbefa026dfe/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken2-web.cc crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken2-web.cc Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken2-web.cc AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken2-web.cc URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken2-web.cc/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-29 02:43:15 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 kraken2-web.cc as a brand impersonation scam targeting users of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. This website presents a fraudulent login page designed to steal credentials. Unsuspecting users who enter their username and password on this site risk having their Kraken accounts compromised and their cryptocurrency assets stolen. The primary threat is credential harvesting, leading to potential financial loss. This domain raises significant security concerns based on several indicators. VirusTotal reports that 13 out of 95 security vendors flag kraken2-web.cc as malicious. The domain was recently created on March 12, 2025, a common tactic used by scammers to quickly deploy and abandon fraudulent sites. The domain is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED, a registrar sometimes associated with suspicious activity. The domain resolves to the IP address 86.54.25.38. The page title is simply "kraken2-web.cc", lacking the official branding expected of a legitimate Kraken service. If you have visited kraken2-web.cc and entered your Kraken login credentials, take immediate action. Change your Kraken password immediately from a trusted device and network. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for enhanced security. Monitor your Kraken account for any unauthorized transactions. Report the incident to Kraken support and consider reporting the fraudulent website to relevant authorities. Be cautious of any emails or communications related to this website, as they may be part of a further phishing attempt. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: c7a2a7714e66837403812bbb88005842 ## 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/kraken2-web.cc/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken2-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.
