# PhishDestroy threat dossier — kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd-onion.shop ================================================================ Fetched: 2026-07-22 00:44:14 UTC Canonical: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd-onion.shop/ ## VERDICT ---------------------------------------------------------------- TAKEN DOWN (neutralised) Composite threat score: 75/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below) Scam classification: Brand Impersonation Targeted brand: Kraken ## DETECTION EVIDENCE ---------------------------------------------------------------- VirusTotal: 3/94 security vendors flagged this domain Flagging vendors: Fortinet, Seclookup AlienVault OTX: 1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions) Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist ## INFRASTRUCTURE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Registered: 2026-03-28 ## 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 02:30:05 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-15 00:27:29 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-07-22 00:21:02 UTC Neutralised: 2026-03-30 03:00:24 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-07-07 16:29:00 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd-onion.shop Brand Impersonation The domain kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd-onion.shop has been identified as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting the Kraken cryptocurrency exchange. This domain was created on March 28, 2026, and has since been taken offline, but its malicious intent remains clear: it was designed to deceive users into believing they were interacting with legitimate Kraken services, likely to steal login credentials or cryptocurrency through a crypto drainer. The domain's structure mimics official Kraken onion addresses, exploiting user trust in the brand. Security analysis reveals that this domain was flagged by 3 out of 95 VirusTotal security vendors, indicating moderate detection across the industry. It also appears on one security blocklist and was found in one AlienVault OTX threat intelligence pulse, confirming its presence in broader threat actor campaigns. While specific registrar and IP data are not provided, the domain's creation date and rapid takedown suggest an agile threat operation. The low blocklist count and moderate vendor flagging underscore the importance of proactive monitoring, as many security tools may not yet have caught up to this specific variant. Although the domain is currently offline, users must remain vigilant against similar impersonation attempts. PhishDestroy strongly advises always verifying the authenticity of Kraken-related URLs by typing official addresses directly into the browser rather than clicking links. If users encounter any domain resembling this one, they should report it immediately and avoid entering any credentials or private keys. The elevated risk level and brand impersonation nature make this a significant threat to cryptocurrency holders, even after takedown, as copycat domains may emerge. [Updates since narrative was generated:] - WHOIS creation date: 2026-03-28 - Public blocklists: now listed on 1 feed ## 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. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd-onion.shop/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=kraken4qzqnoi7ogpzpzwrxk7mw53n5i56loydwiyonu4owxsh4g67yd-onion.shop 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: independent open-source threat-intelligence platform.
