## VERDICT
----------------------------------------------------------------
TAKEN DOWN (neutralised)
Composite threat score: 83/100 (PhishDestroy scoring — see methodology below)
Scam classification: Brand Impersonation
Targeted brand: Kraken

## DETECTION EVIDENCE
----------------------------------------------------------------
VirusTotal:      10/94 security vendors flagged this domain
  Flagging vendors: alphaMountain.ai, BitDefender, CRDF, CyRadar, ESET, Fortinet, G-Data, Lionic, Sophos, Webroot
AlienVault OTX:  1 pulses (threat-intel feed mentions)
Public blocklists: listed on 1 independent blocklist

## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Registered:      2026-03-29

## 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 05:30:03 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 12:06:57 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-26 14:56:25 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

The domain kraken5af44k24fwzohe6fvqfgxfsee4lgydb3ayzkfhlzqhuwlo33ad-onion.com poses a significant brand impersonation threat, mimicking the online presence of the well-known cryptocurrency exchange Kraken. This impersonation can lead users to believe they are interacting with a legitimate Kraken service, potentially resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information such as login credentials, personal data, and financial details.

Analysis indicates that the domain has been flagged by 10 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting a moderate level of detection. The domain was created on March 29, 2026, and has been taken offline, indicating a response from security teams or the hosting provider. The domain appears on one security blocklist, further confirming its malicious nature. The unique seed '7faf44' in the domain name may be used to track related infrastructure or campaigns, providing valuable insights into the tactics employed by the attackers.

If users have visited this domain, they are advised to immediately change their passwords and any other credentials used on the Kraken platform. Users should also monitor their accounts for any unauthorized activity and consider enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security. Reporting the incident to Kraken's support team and conducting a comprehensive security scan on their devices can help mitigate potential risks associated with this threat.

## 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.
