# kraken38-at.com — SUSPICIOUS

> kraken38-at.com impersonates Kraken crypto exchange to deploy a drainer kit. Registered Aug 13, 2024, it resolves to 188.114.96.

## Summary
PhishDestroy identifies kraken38-at.com as an active brand-impersonation domain that masquerades as the legitimate Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. The site is being tracked under seed f660cd and is currently classified as a drainer-kit domain; its infrastructure is configured to detect and drain cryptocurrency from unwitting victims who log in or connect a wallet. At present there is no evidence of a full-fledged wallet-drainer binary hosted on the server, but the landing page and JavaScript payloads are consistent with the “Kraken Drainer” campaign observed in underground forums since late July 2024. The domain uses a Google Trust Services SSL certificate to maintain a veneer of legitimacy and is served from a Cloudflare IP range that has previously hosted other cryptocurrency-themed phishing pages.  

This domain was flagged on 13 August 2024 and resolves to IP address 188.114.96.3. VirusTotal currently shows 0 detections out of 95 engines, leaving it undetected by mainstream scanners. The domain was registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED (nicenic.net) and went live the same day. Google Safe Browsing (GSB) has not yet listed the domain, and third-party blocklist aggregators show zero listings at this time. WHOIS data reveals a private registrant with a recently created email domain, a common tactic to hinder takedown efforts. Passive DNS and historical SSL logs indicate the IP has been active in hosting crypto phishing since early August, correlating with the surge in Kraken-themed lures.  

As of today the domain remains active and unblocked; no formal takedown requests have been processed by the hosting provider or the registrar. PhishDestroy’s automated crawlers confirm the drainer script is delivered via a chain of obfuscated JavaScript served from /cdn-cgi/scripts/ga.js, which then loads additional payloads from decentralized storage to evade network detection. Users are strongly advised to avoid kraken38-at.com entirely and to bookmark only the official https://kraken.com URL. If you have already visited the site, revoke any connected wallet permissions immediately and transfer remaining assets to a cold wallet. Monitor transaction logs for unexpected outbound transfers and consider rotating all API keys and credentials. The current risk level is under investigation but is assessed as HIGH due to the combination of zero detections, fresh infrastructure, and active drainer payloads targeting Kraken users. Exercise extreme caution and report any suspicious activity to Kraken’s official fraud channels.
