Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken25.top/

## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 84/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Brand Impersonation
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      11/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: ADMINUSLabs, alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Sophos, VIPRE, Webroot
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 detected:    2026-03-29 05:30:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
First reported:    2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed)
Last verified:     2026-07-22 04:20:48 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-03-30 03:00:24 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE

kraken25.top: Confirmed Kraken Cryptocurrency Credential

This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk credential phishing site specifically targeting users of the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange platform. Analysis indicates the infrastructure was designed to harvest login credentials, two-factor authentication codes, and private wallet keys through fraudulent portal replication, posing significant financial and data compromise risks to victims.  Infrastructure analysis reveals kraken25.top was registered on March 29, 2026, through an unidentified registrar. VirusTotal detection metrics show 11 out of 95 security vendors flagging the domain as malicious, while it appears on one active security blocklist. The domain has since been taken offline, though no associated IP address or hosting provider details were recovered during investigation. Automated trust scoring systems assigned the domain a near-zero reputation score prior to deactivation, corroborating its malicious classification.  Mitigation against this specific threat vector requires immediate action from both end users and organizational security teams. Users who accessed the domain should rotate all Kraken account credentials, revoke active API keys, and enable hardware-based multi-factor authentication. Security teams are advised to implement DNS-based blocking of kraken25.top and monitor for related indicators of compromise, including anomalous login attempts or transaction patterns. Cryptocurrency exchanges should proactively warn users about this campaign through official communication channels and provide clear guidance on verifying legitimate domain infrastructure.

## 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.
