Hosting org: CloudFlare, Inc. Registrar: NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED !!! 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: ["aurora.ns.cloudflare.com", "cory.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-04-11 Page title: Loading... ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Let's Encrypt / E8 Expires: 2026-07-07 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: dbbd6a2eb5429eae74c215c36723443475de6d8a1a75237b08c5dac2c4eeabfa ## 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: 2026-04-11 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-04-11 21:05:56 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Last verified: 2026-04-23 01:16:46 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:16:33 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d7db5-f7c5-7589-955c-ce7482c66d41/ Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken2krn.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken2krn.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken2krn.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken2krn.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken2krn.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-04-11 21:06:17 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] kraken2krn.com is currently categorized under investigation for brand impersonation threats specifically targeting the Kraken brand. The risk level remains under careful assessment as the domain is actively live and potentially deceptive to users familiar with Kraken's services. Detailed analysis reveals the domain was registered on April 8, 2026, through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. It resolves to IP address 188.114.97.3 and holds a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. VirusTotal scans report 0 detections out of 95 engines, indicating it is not yet flagged by mainstream security tools. The page title retrieved is "Loading...", which suggests either a placeholder or an attempt to mimic legitimate Kraken web pages. Currently, no blocklist entries or trust score data have been reported, but continuous monitoring is recommended given the brand impersonation intent. To mitigate risks associated with this domain, organizations and users should implement domain filtering and monitor network traffic for connections to 188.114.97.3 associated with kraken2krn.com. End users should be warned against entering credentials or personal data on sites with ambiguous page content or unknown legitimacy, especially those impersonating trusted brands like Kraken. Security teams should update threat intelligence feeds and consider blocking this domain preemptively while further investigation progresses. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- Favicon MD5: 7a8920b132f3579d7b00abf8a49c6df5 TLS cert SHA-256: dbbd6a2eb5429eae74c215c36723443475de6d8a1a75237b08c5dac2c4eeabfa ## 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/kraken2krn.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken2krn.com 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.
