TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 73/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Fake Exchange
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     Let's Encrypt / E8
Expires:    2026-05-25
Status:     INVALID chain
Fingerprint: f8025ccdf2a216d40bdfc9566703a4daf1d70b6d631cf8abc1948782ee2194b7
Subject Alternative Names (related infrastructure — often same operator):
  - 5c8e4088.sni.cloudflaressl.com

## 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: 2026-03-28 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-03-29 02:30:07 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:       2026-04-23 19:20:35 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-22 23:30:58 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd-onion.org is a fake exchange site that mimics Kraken, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange. It is currently taken down, but at its peak, it was flagged by 1 out of 94 vendors on VirusTotal, indicating limited detection. The domain was registered through Gname 398 Inc and hosted on an IP managed by CloudFlare, Inc., located in Canada.

This phishing domain aimed to deceive users into believing they were accessing the legitimate Kraken platform. By leveraging the trusted Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, the site likely appeared secure to unsuspecting visitors. The use of a complex and seemingly random domain name is a common tactic to evade detection and confuse users.

Despite its takedown, the domain highlights the ongoing threat of fake exchange sites within the cryptocurrency sector. PhishDestroy's inclusion of this domain in public blocklists underscores the importance of early detection in mitigating phishing threats. The limited VirusTotal detection count reflects the freshness of the threat, as phishing domains often exploit the gap between registration and antivirus database updates.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      f8025ccdf2a216d40bdfc9566703a4daf1d70b6d631cf8abc1948782ee2194b7

## 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.
