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: ["aaden.ns.cloudflare.com", "elinore.ns.cloudflare.com"] Registered: 2026-03-29 Page title: KRAKEN ## TLS CERTIFICATE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Issuer: Google Trust Services / WE1 Expires: 2026-06-17 Status: INVALID chain Fingerprint: b3ad00677082c6d77deb46523a38434f6270d7b79dcc6ad3faa959ea07a39768 ## 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 03:13:39 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) Earliest abuse rec: 2026-03-29 00:15:51 UTC — PREDATES current WHOIS registration; retained from a previous registration cycle of the same domain name Last verified: 2026-04-23 01:28:41 UTC Neutralised: 2026-04-23 00:28:36 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) Note: one or more events above predate the WHOIS creation date. This typically means the same domain name was previously registered, detected, dropped, and then re-registered by a new party. PhishDestroy preserves the full historical record for operator-attribution research even when the underlying infrastructure changes hands. ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019d36ee-9ce0-72b2-9095-350a56f5c322/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/41ea746d-db27-47ae-9bd1-7e91e5b87ed5 Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.com crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.com Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.com AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.com URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.com/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-03-29 03:14:33 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] PhishDestroy identifies kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.com as an active brand-impersonation domain targeting Kraken users. The domain employs a crypto-drainer kit designed to mimic the legitimate Kraken exchange interface, tricking victims into connecting cryptocurrency wallets and authorizing fraudulent transactions. Observed infrastructure aligns with a known modus operandi where threat actors register lookalike domains shortly after major brand campaigns to harvest credentials and drain wallets. This domain resolves to IP 188.114.97.3 and was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED on February 11, 2023. Security vendor coverage stands at 3/95 on VirusTotal, with no detection from Google Safe Browsing. The SSL certificate, issued by Google Trust Services, adds superficial legitimacy, potentially bypassing automated browser warnings. Further threat intelligence indicates this domain is currently unlisted on major blocklists, increasing its window of opportunity for exploitation. The threat remains active with elevated risk due to the use of HTTPS and the absence of widespread blocklisting. Immediate response includes network-level blocking of the domain and associated IP, alongside user awareness campaigns highlighting the risks of connecting wallets to third-party sites. While existing controls may mitigate exposure, the domain’s recent creation and low detection rate suggest ongoing refinement by threat actors. Continuous monitoring and proactive threat hunting are recommended to prevent credential theft and financial loss targeting Kraken users. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260329-F5E14A Favicon MD5: 5d821fccfd5d5fdac356310e46b00e69 TLS cert SHA-256: b3ad00677082c6d77deb46523a38434f6270d7b79dcc6ad3faa959ea07a39768 ## 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/kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.com/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7insta.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.
